Manufacturer Narrative

H10: the catalog number identified in section d4 has not been cleared in the us but is similar to the lifestream that are cleared in the us.The pro code and 510 k number for the lifestream are identified in d2 and g4.H10: manufacturing review: a device history record review could not be conducted as the batch number was not provided.The lot number not provided a partial complaint history review could only be performed.There were no other similar complaints reported in the given period of review.Investigation summary: the sample was not returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.Therefore, the investigation is inconclusive for the reported dislodgement issue.The root cause for the reported dislodgement issue could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications.Labeling review: the instruction for use for the lifestream product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: indication for use: the lifestream balloon expandable vascular covered stent is indicated for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in common and external iliac arteries.Contraindications: ¿ patients who are judged to have lesions that prevent complete expansion of the implant based on the lesion morphology, the diagnostic angiography and/or lesion response during pre-dilation.Warnings: ¿ attempts to retract the covered stent into the sheath/guiding catheter may result in dislodgement and embolization of the covered stent.Maintain guidewire placement across the lesion and withdraw the endovascular system only until the proximal end of the covered stent is aligned with the tip of the sheath/guiding catheter.Do not attempt to remove an unexpanded covered stent through the sheath/guiding catheter.Remove the sheath/guiding catheter and endovascular system as a single unit.Attempting to remove an unexpanded covered stent by pulling it back into the sheath/guiding catheter may result in stent dislodgement.¿ the covered stent cannot be repositioned after it is deployed.Precautions: ¿ crossing the implant with catheters or other adjunct devices can result in covered stent dislodgement or damage.¿ this device has not been tested for use in overlapped conditions with stents or covered stents from other manufacturers.¿ store in a cool and dry place.Keep away from sunlight.Potential adverse events: potential patient/device adverse effects that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: ¿ covered stent dislodgement from balloon during tracking procedure ¿ covered stent misplacement during placement procedure directions for use: covered stent size selection 3.Select a covered stent diameter that is approximately 5%-20% larger than the largest reference vessel diameter at the proximal or distal target site.Refer to the sizing table on the packaging label for appropriate selection of the covered stent diameter and length.Endovascular system preparation 4.Carefully remove the selected device from the package.5.Inspect the covered stent for adherence to the balloon and centered placement in relation to the balloon marker bands.If the covered stent is not centered and/or does not firmly adhere to the balloon, do not use.13.Advance the endovascular system over the guidewire into the introducer sheath.14.Further advance the endovascular system to the target treatment site within the introducer sheath and position the covered stent across the lesion.Verify that the covered stent is still centered within the balloon marker bands.Slowly retract the introducer sheath / guiding catheter while maintaining the position of the covered stent.Ensure the introducer sheath is retracted far enough to not compromise the balloon expansion and covered stent release.15.Slowly inflate the endovascular system balloon to nominal pressure, expanding the covered stent.Confirm complete expansion via fluoroscopic visualization.A 15 ¿ 30 second inflation time is recommended.Important: do not exceed the rated burst pressure of the delivery system.16.After covered stent deployment, apply negative pressure to the balloon until it is fully deflated.Withdraw the delivery system while maintaining negative pressure with the guidewire remaining across the lesion.H11: section a through f ¿ the information provide by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
