It was reported that a 2.50 x 33 mm xience xpedition stent delivery system (sds) was selected for the procedure.During preparation prior to use, the proximal shaft of the sds became bent (kinked).When an attempt was made to straighten the shaft it separated into two pieces.The sds was not used in the procedure.A new non-abbott sds was used to successfully complete the procedure.There was no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

Internal file number - (b)(4).Device evaluated by mfr: correction- device status updated from returning to not returned.The device was not returned for evaluation.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 identified no similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined that the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that inadvertent mishandling during preparation of the device ultimately contributed to the reported kinked shaft and shaft detachment prior to use.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
