(b)(4).Evaluation summary: the device was returned for analysis.The reported failure to deploy was confirmed.The reported material rupture (balloon rupture) was not confirmed; however, this was most likely due to mis-identification of the tear to the outer member.The physical resistance was unable to be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.The xience xpedition everolimus eluting coronary stent system (eecss), electronic instructions for use states: an unexpanded stent may be retracted into the guiding catheter one time only.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 of the reported lot did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
