Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by manufacturer: a visual examination of the returned device found that the outer sheath had been retracted past the stent holder and that the stent had been deployed.The stent was not returned for analysis.It was noted that the valve body had been retracted past the black limit marker on the shaft which would result in the stent being deployed.The packaging mandrel was returned partially inserted through the device.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The most probable root cause is considered handling damage as the event occurred without direct patient contact.(b)(4).
