Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing record (dhr) review was conducted and the product met quality requirements for product acceptance per the applicable manufacturing quality plan.The product is not available for evaluation and testing.Additional information will be submitted within 30 days upon receipt.

Event Description

As reported, a precise pro rx us 10 x 30 stent delivery system (sds) was delivered to the target lesion.During deployment, there was some resistance felt and the stent jumped.There was no reported patient injury.Additional information received indicated that the precise stent was implanted distal to the intended target lesion.Additional intervention/an additional stent was implanted to treat the intended target lesion.The target lesion was the left internal carotid artery (lica).The target lesion was reported to be: slightly tortuous, severely calcified, and a seventy-five percent (75%) stenosis.The product is not being returned for inspection.No additional information is available.
