Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat the right coronary artery (rca).The lesion was pre-dilated with a 3 mm balloon at 18 atmospheres per standard practice.A 4.0x48 xience skypoint stent, a 4.0x23 mm xience skypoint stent and a 4.0x12 mm xience skypoint stent were implanted.Post dilatation was performed with a 5 mm balloon at 24 atmospheres.On a post market evaluation (pme) survey, the physician indicated the flexibility of the undeployed stent and ability to recapture the undeployed stent in the guiding catheter as not satisfying.Reportedly, the 4.0x12 xience skypoint sds balloon was difficult to completely deflate and there may have been an incorrect contrast ratio of 50/20.The balloon only partially deflated and was withdrawn inflated.There were no reported adverse patient effects and there was no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record and complaint history of the reported lot could not be conducted because the lot number was not reported.It was reported that the contrast mixture used during the procedure was 50/20.It should be noted that the xience skypoint instructions for use (ifu) states: use contrast diluted 1:1 with heparinized normal saline.In this case, it is unknown if the ifu deviation contributed to the reported event.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficult to remove, deflation problem, and material too soft/flexible.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
