Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion located in the superficial femoral artery.Resistance was met during advancement of the absolute pro vascular stent system through the sheath, and the shaft separated in two pieces.Therefore they attempted to remove the device, but it became stuck in the sheath.The absolute pro and sheath were removed together with no issues.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported material separation was able to be confirmed.The reported difficult to advance was unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.The reported difficult to remove was unable to be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.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.As there was no damage noted to the device during the inspection prior to use, the investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that during advancement interactions with the sheath resulted in the reported difficult to advance.Manipulation of the device resulted in the noted device damages (wrinkled/torn sheath) and ultimately resulted in the reported shaft separation/noted jacket and inner member separations; thus resulting in the reported difficult to remove.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
