Manufacturer Narrative

Block a4: patient weight: 18.5 kg.Block h6: imdrf device code a04046 captures the reportable event of stent kinked, inside the patient.Block h10: the returned percuflex plus ureteral stent was analyzed, and a magnification and visual evaluation noted that the bladder coil torn over one drainage hole.During media inspection, the photo was observed that the bladder coil was torn over one drainage hole.No other problems with the device were noted.The reported event was not confirmed.Taking all available information into consideration, most likely, the device meets all manufacturing specifications required and passed all the controls and inspections, no abnormalities were reported during the assembly process.It is possible to conclude that this problem could be caused by operational factors.The retrieval line may be removed before placement at the physician's discretion.If the retrieval line is removed using excess force, the stent can get torn during the procedure affecting the performance of the device.Therefore, all compiled information on this investigation determines that the most probable cause is adverse event related to procedure since the adverse event occurred during the procedure and the device had no influence on event.
