Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the superficial femoral artery (sfa).The supera self-expanding stent system (sess) was attempted to be advanced onto the steelcore 18 guide wire when the stent system got stuck and sheared the guide wire causing the guide wire to peel.The devices were removed as a single unit.There was nothing left in the patient.Another steelcore guide wire and supera stent were used to complete the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for analysis.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 devices were not coaxially aligned and/or a buildup/coagulation of blood/contrast on the guide wire resulted in the reported difficult to advance and difficult to remove; however this cannot be confirmed.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.D4 - catalog # and lot # updated.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported difficult to advance and the reported difficult to remove were able to be confirmed.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.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that interaction with the steelcore 18 guide wire resulted in compromising the guidewire flush port; thus resulting in the reported difficult to advance and the reported difficult to remove.Inadvertent mishandling resulted in the noted shaft kink likely causing/contributing to the reported difficulties.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.D9- device available for evaluation updated from ¿no¿ to ¿yes¿.H3 - device returned to mfg? updated from ¿no¿ to ¿yes¿.H6 - type of investigation code 4115 removed; investigation findings code 213 removed; investigation conclusions code 67 removed.Component code 525 added; type of investigation code 10 added; investigation findings code 114 added; investigation conclusions code 4311 added.H10 - additional mfg narrative: revised.
