Manufacturer Narrative
No medical records and no medical images were provided to the manufacturer.The lot number for the device was provided.The device history records are currently under review.The device has been returned for evaluation.The investigation is currently underway.(expiry date 03/2021).The information provided by bard represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bard.
 
Event Description
It was reported that during a stent graft deployment procedure in the left common femoral artery, the delivery system was allegedly unable to load through the guidewire.Reportedly, the device was replaced without issues and a new device was used to complete the procedure.There was no reported patient injury.
 
Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturing review: the production history lot number for acceptable devices were reviewed and no anomalies were identified.The lot met all test release criteria.Nothing was found to indicate a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: the result of the investigation was unconfirmed for the reported failure mode - the delivery system was allegedly unable to load through the guide wire.The guide wire was successfully fed through the catheter.During the evaluation a dark substance was expelled through the distal tip of the device as the guide wire exited.The decontamination procedure for the device may have altered the matter which was then forced out during this activity.Based on the available information a definitive root cause was not determined.It is unknown whether patient factors, handling or procedural techniques may have contributed to the reported event.Labeling review: the ifu for the lifestream product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: a device description 1.Implant the lifestream¿ balloon expandable vascular covered stent is comprised of an electropolished balloon-expandable stent made from 316l stainless steel, encapsulated between two layers of eptfe.B indication for use the lifestream¿ balloon expandable vascular covered stent is indicated for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in common and external iliac arteries.Directions for use site access and preparation 1.Using standard techniques access the artery and place an introducer sheath or guiding catheter of appropriate inner diameter and a 0.035" (0.89 mm) guidewire across the target lesion.2.Perform diagnostic angiography to confirm site of implantation and measure the reference vessel diameter and lesion length.Covered stent size selection 3.Select a covered stent diameter that is approximately 5%-20% larger than the largest reference vessel diameter at the proximal or distal target site.Refer to the sizing table on the packaging label for appropriate selection of the covered stent diameter and length.Endovascular system preparation 4.Carefully remove the selected device from the package.5.Inspect the covered stent for adherence to the balloon and centered placement in relation to the balloon marker bands.If the covered stent is not centered and/or does not firmly adhere to the balloon, do not use.6.Flush the delivery system guidewire lumen with sterile saline mixture until saline drops from the distal end of the endovascular system.Air evacuation 7.A 20 cc or smaller luer-lock syringe with a minimum of 5 cc¿s sterile saline mixture is recommended for use for aspirating this device.8.With the distal balloon tip pointing down and positioned below the level of the syringe, pull negative pressure until all air is expelled.9.Induce a negative pressure to remove any air from the balloon and inflation lumen.Repeat until all air is expelled.10.Carefully release to neutral.Allow the inflation lumen to fill with the diluted contrast medium and maintain a neutral pressure.Important: do not apply positive pressure to the balloon.11.Attach the prefilled inflation device to the inflation lumen of the catheter hub, ensuring no air bubbles remain at the catheter connection.12.Verify that the covered stent is still centered between the two radiopaque markers on the balloon catheter.Introduction of the endovascular system and placement of the covered stent 13.Advance the endovascular system over the guidewire into the introducer sheath.14.Further advance the endovascular system to the target treatment site within the introducer sheath and position the covered stent across the lesion.Verify that the covered stent is still centered within the balloon marker bands.Slowly retract the introducer sheath / guiding catheter while maintaining the position of the covered stent.Ensure the introducer sheath is retracted far enough to not compromise the balloon expansion and covered stent release.H11:section a through f - the information provided by bard represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bard.
