Event Description
|
A balloon catheter (3 mm*10 cm) inflated in the lesion as a pre-dilatation, and a smart control, iliac 6 x 60 ml stent was inserted.However there was resistance felt during delivery and removed.Then the distal tip was confirmed to be frayed.Therefore it was replaced with a new smart control.The procedure completed successfully.There was no reported patient injury.The product was clinically used and it will not be returned for analysis.The target lesion was the right superficial femoral artery.The patient¿s vessel level of tortuousness, calcification and rate of stenosis was unknown.Additional information was requested.

Manufacturer Narrative

The sections have been updated accordingly.During an endovascular interventional procedure, a balloon catheter was inflated in the lesion as a pre-dilatation.A smart control iliac 6 x 60 ml stent was inserted to the lesion.There was resistance felt during delivery and the stent was not deployed.The stent delivery system was removed.Upon examination of the system, the distal tip was confirmed to be frayed.It was replaced with a new smart control.The procedure completed successfully.There was no reported patient injury.The product was clinically used and it will not be returned for analysis.The target lesion was the right superficial femoral artery.The patient¿s vessel level of tortuousness, calcification and rate of stenosis was unknown.The product was properly inspected and prepped prior to use.The device was prepared as specified by the instructions for use.There was no apparent damage to the device noticed prior to use.The physician was able to get the guidewire through the guiding catheter during the procedure.Difficulty was encountered while advancing/tracking the device towards the lesion.The access site was the left femoral artery and a contralateral approach was used.Additional procedural details were requested but are unknown.The product was not returned for analysis.A device history record (dhr) review of lot 17587435 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported stent delivery system- resistance/friction-outer sheath and distal tip- frayed/split/torn could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause could not be determined.Although the vessel characteristics are unknown, characteristics of tortuosity, calcification and rate of stenosis may have contributed to the reported event.According to the instructions for use ¿after careful inspection of the pouch looking for damage to the sterile barrier, carefully peel open the pouch and extract the stent delivery system from the tray.Examine the device for any damage.If it is suspected that the sterility or performance of the device has been compromised, the device should not be used.Evaluate the distal end of the catheter to ensure that the stent is contained within the outer sheath.Do not use if the stent is partially deployed.Advance the device over the guidewire through the hemostatic valve and sheath introducer.Note: if resistance is met during delivery system introduction, the system should be withdrawn and another system should be used.¿ neither the dhr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported burst; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken.
