Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a de novo, eccentric lesion located in the moderately tortuous, distal circumflex.The 2.5 x 18 mm xience v stent delivery system (sds) failed to cross the lesion resulting in flared distal stent struts.Additionally, during manipulation of the sds the catheter shaft separated into two pieces.Another xience v sds was able to cross successfully.No adverse patient effects or clinically significant delay in the procedure were reported.No additional information was provided.

(b)(4).The device was initially reported as returning for analysis; however, the device was not returned.The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that as the stent delivery system was advanced, resistance was met with the moderately tortuous anatomy resulting in the reported failure to advance.Interaction with the moderately tortuous anatomy resulted in the reported material deformation (flared).Manipulation of the device ultimately resulted in the reported shaft detachment.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
