H10: the catalog number identified in section d4 has not been cleared in the us but is similar to the fluency plus endovascular stent graft products that are cleared in the us.The pro code and 510 k number for the fluency plus endovascular stent graft products are identified in d2 and g4.H10: manufacturing review: the lot history records of this lot were reviewed with special attention to the manufacturing and inspection of this product and the product was found to have met the specification prior to shipment.Investigation summary: the sample was returned for evaluation.Based on the investigation performed in the laboratory, the partial deployment of the stent graft was identified as being the main issue to the reported event.The conditions of the sample indicate high release forces applied to the device.This, caused the subsequent fracture of the outer sheath and the break of the guidewire lumen, which was not found inside the sheath.Due to the break of the guidewire lumen, the system was received separated in two pieces.It is not known when and how the guidewire lumen went missing.The system was flushed, and appropriate introducer sheath and guidewire were used.The tissue was reported to be no tortuous in nature or calcified.Additionally, it is known that the stent graft was placed in a straight section of the lumen prior to deployment.Based on the investigation of the provided information, the investigation is confirmed for partial deployment and the subsequent fracture of the outer sheath and guidewire lumen.A definite root cause for the reported event could not be determined.Labeling review: in reviewing the relevant labeling, it was found that the instructions for use sufficiently address the potential risks.Regarding preparation of the device the instructions for use state that 'prior to loading the vascular system over a guide wire, both ports must be flushed with sterile saline (.).Flushing these lumens will also facilitate stent graft deployment.' regarding the anatomy of the placement site the instructions for use states: 'prior to stent graft deployment (.), ensure that the proximal stent graft end is positioned in a straight section of the lumen to reduce the risk of increased deployment forces and possible failure to deploy.' regarding accessories the instructions for use states: 'a super stiff guide wire (0.035 in.) is advanced from a femoral artery puncture site.Use an introducer sheath for the implant procedure'; the packaging pictograms indicate an introducer size of 9f and a 0.035" guidewire.H10: b5, d4 (expiry date: 04/2024), g3, h6 (device) h11: h6 (result, conclusion) h11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of 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.H3 other text : see h10.
