Manufacturer Narrative

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.Based on the information available it is not reasonably suggested that a manufacturing process may have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Investigation summary: the explanted covered stent was returned for evaluation, and images were provided demonstrating the explanted stent on the table after the surgery, however, strut irregularity or covering issue potentially related to the alleged collapse could not be identified.Images demonstrating the collapsed stent inside the vessel / restenosis were not provided which leads to inconclusive evaluation result.Based on the investigation of the provided information, the investigation is inconclusive for reported issues.A definite root cause for the reported event could not be determined.Labeling review: in reviewing the relevant labeling for this product the potential issue was found addressed.In regards to size selection the instructions for use state: 'straight device configurations are intended for use in anatomies where the diameter of the outflow vessel is equal to or smaller than the diameter of the inflow vessel.Flared device configurations are intended for use in anatomies where the diameter of the outflow vessel segment is larger than the inflow segment.', a 'covered stent diameter selection' table is part of the instructions for use describing the relationship between covered stent diameter and recommended oversizing; based on this table the oversizing was correct.In regards to pta the instructions for use state: 'post dilation of the covered stent must be performed using an appropriately sized pta balloon catheter to avoid damage to the covered stent.The covered stent cannot be post dilated beyond its labeled diameter.', and 'pre-dilate the stenosis with a pta balloon catheter of appropriate length and diameter for the lesion to be treated.' under covered stent specific events the instructions for use state: '(.), kinking and insufficient covered stent expansion.' holding and handling of system was found described, in particular the instructions for use state: 'do not touch the distal catheter assembly (i.E.The dark brown catheter segment) during covered stent deployment since this may interfere with covered stent deployment and may lead to misplacement'.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.
