(b)(4).The device was not returned for evaluation.The reported patient effects of angina and death are listed in the xience prime everolimus eluting coronary stent system, instructions for use as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.A cine was received and reviewed by an abbott vascular clinical specialist.The reviewer concluded that angiographic imaging post deployment of the stent shows a clinically acceptable flow of blood rated as timi iii, which is defined as normal flow which fills the distal coronary bed completely.After review of the imaging and information provided, there appears to be no product defect or performance issues as they relate to the implanted stent and / or the process of stent implantation.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling of the device.
