Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturer's investigation is still pending at this time.Results and conclusions will be provided in the final report.

Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat the distal right superficial femoral artery (sfa) with mild calcification and 80% stenosis.Access was obtained from the left common femoral and went up and over.The vessel was 5 mm in diameter and was prepared with a 5x100 mm non-abbott balloon.Pre-dilatation was performed with a 5x120 non-abbott serrated balloon.During deployment of the 5x100 mm supera self expanding stent system (sess), the thumbslide felt like it was stuck and the stent partially flowered.The physician did not feel comfortable with continuing deployment and the device was removed.A non-abbott stent was deployed without issues.There were no adverse patient effects and no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported activation failure was able to be confirmed.The reported mechanical jam was unable 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.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 inadvertent mishandling and/or interaction with the mildly calcified and 80% stenosed anatomy resulted in the noted device damages (kinked/bunched catheter shaft, multiple catheter shaft bends) such that the ratchet was unable to properly/fully engage the stent resulting in difficulty advancing the thumbslide/mechanical jam and the reported deployment difficulty/activation failure.Manipulation of the device in attempts to deploy the stent resulted in ratchet to sheath interaction; thus resulting in the noted separated top ratchet ear.The separated ratchet ear portion was not returned.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.B1 - adverse event/product problem changed from product problem to adverse event/product problem b2 - outcomes attributed to ae changed from na to other, serious h1 - type of reportable event changed from malfunction to serious injury h6: health effect - clinical code 4582 removed; 2687 added h6: health effect - impact code 2199 removed; 4614 added.
