Event Description

It was reported that a 4.00 x 33 mm xience prime stent delivery system (sds) was selected for the procedure.Upon removal from the plastic hoop/coil the shaft of the sds was observed to be kinked.No damage to any of the packaging (chip board box, pouches, hoop/coil, etc.) had been observed prior to opening and the kink in the shaft was not observed prior to removing the sds from the plastic hoop/coil.The sds was not used in the procedure.A new unspecified sds was used to successfully complete the procedure.There was no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure and no adverse patient effects.No additional information was provided.Returned device analysis found that there was a separation of the hypotube, 20.3 cm distal to strain relief tubing.Additionally, the sds was returned with contrast in the balloon and inflation lumen and blood in the guide wire lumen, indicating that the sds had been inserted on the guide wire.
