It was reported that during a peripheral procedure, difficulty was noted during advancement of the omnilink elite stent through the 6french non-abbott sheath.The stent was able to advance to the target site and was deployed.Resistance was noted during device removal; however, there was no adverse patient effect.No additional information was provided.

(b)(4).Evaluation summary: visual and dimensional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported resistance with the introducer sheath was not tested due to the balloon being previously inflated and the balloon being loosely folded.Returned analysis showed the inner diameter (id) of the terumo introducer sheath to be 0.084; however the scanned omni elite packaging label in the electronic lot history record for this lot lists a recommended minimum introducer sheath of 6f with id of 0.085 inches (2.15mm).In this case, the inner diameter (id) of the terumo introducer sheath was smaller than the labeled recommended minimum id resulting in the reported resistance.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling; therefore, no corrective action is required.
