It was reported that during unpacking and before use of the xience pro device, as device was pulled out of the plastic hoop, it was noticed that one strut of the device at the very distal segment was bent.The device was not used in the anatomy, therefore there was no patient involvement.Another 3.5 x 15 mm xience pro device was used for successful treatment of the target lesion.The final outcome was good.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.Returned device analysis noted a torn soft tip.
