Manufacturer Narrative

The device is expected to be returned for evaluation.It has not yet been received.A follow up report will be submitted with all additional relevant information.On (b)(6) 2022, abbott determined that a field safety notice was required for the absolute pro ll peripheral self-expanding stent system (psess).Abbott has confirmed reports of mechanical locking, stent deployment and partial stent deployment failures, resulting from unintended excessive force used to deploy the stent.To reduce occurrences of deployment failures and associated outcomes, abbott is notifying all users of the potential causes and risks.

Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat an unspecified lesion in the popliteal artery.A 5x150mm absolute pro ll self-expanding stent system (sess) was being deployed when the thumbwheel became stuck and stopped deploying the stent.The handle of the delivery system was broken open and the stent was successfully deployed.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.On (b)(6) 2022, abbott determined that a field safety notice was required for the absolute pro ll peripheral self-expanding stent system (psess).Abbott has confirmed reports of mechanical locking, stent deployment and partial stent deployment failures, resulting from unintended excessive force used to deploy the stent.To reduce occurrences of deployment failures and associated outcomes, abbott is notifying all users of the potential causes and risks.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported activation failure and the reported mechanical jam were unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.It is possible that the distal shaft was bent/compromised in the anatomy and/or interaction with other devices resulted in preventing the shaft lumens from moving freely resulting in the reported mechanical jam and the reported activation/deployment failure; however this cannot be confirmed.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties cannot be determined.Manipulation of the device likely resulted in the noted device damages (multiple kinked inner member, separated inner member, multiple pinched jacket, separated outer member, multiple distal sheath and inner member chatter marks).On may 11th, 2022, abbott determined that a field safety notice was required for the absolute pro ll peripheral self-expanding stent system (psess).Abbott has confirmed reports of mechanical locking, stent deployment and partial stent deployment failures, resulting from unintended excessive force used to deploy the stent.To reduce occurrences of deployment failures and associated outcomes, abbott is notifying all users of the potential causes and risks.
