Manufacturer Narrative

Complaint conclusion: a 10mm x 30mm precise pro rx carotid self-expanding stent (ses) delivery system was being used to treat a carotid lesion but did not deploy normally.As a result, the patient was sent to surgery.Additional information was requested but was not provided.The product was returned for analysis.A non-sterile unit of precise pro rx us carotid system was received for analysis coiled inside of a clear plastic bag.Per visual analysis the stent was fully deployed and was not returned.Kinks were noted on the distal tip.A segment of unknown material which are not used on the manufacturing process was also found inside the bag.It was not possible to identify the unknown material.The hemostasis valve was received tightly closed.No other damages or anomalies were noted.Per dimensional analysis the stroke length of the stent delivery system was measured and verified to be within specification.Functional analysis was not performed due to the unit was returned fully deployed.However, the deploying mechanism was manually actuated, and no anomalies were noted.The unknown material was analyzed with a ft-ir equipment and compared with a lab sample control with the following results.Ftir analysis conclusion: the pieces are made from different materials; the inner section of the outer member is composed of ptfe and the transparent piece is composed of polyamide.A product history record (phr) review of lot 17976284 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿stent delivery system (sds)-ses deployment difficulty¿ was not confirmed through analysis of the returned device.The exact cause of the event could not be determined during analysis.The stent was fully deployed and was not returned for analysis.However, a kinked condition was observed close to the distal tip.The pieces of plastic returned with the device were not part of the precise pro device returned.The exact cause of these damages could not be conclusively determined during the analysis.Procedural and/or handling factors might have contributed to this issue due to the presence of a kink on the device.According to the instructions for use, which are not intended as a mitigation of risk ¿extract the stent delivery system from the tray.Examine the device for any damage.Evaluate the distal end of the catheter to ensure that the stent is contained within the outer sheath.Do not use if the stent is partially deployed.Note: if resistance is met during delivery system introduction, the system should be withdrawn and another system should be used.Note: if any resistance is met during delivery system withdrawal, advance the outer sheath until the outer sheath marker contacts the catheter tip and withdraw the system as one unit.¿ neither the phr review nor the product analysis suggests that the event experienced by the customer could be related to the manufacturing process; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.
