Manufacturer Narrative

Two precise pro rx 8mm x 40mm self-expanding stent (ses) delivery system did not work in the carotid artery.There was no reported patient injury.Two non-sterile precise pro rx 8x40 stent delivery system units were received for analysis inside a plastic bag.Per visual analysis of the identified unit number one analyzed under this complaint, the stent of the unit was received 2.0 cm partially deployed.The valve of the unit was received partially locked/ closed.An accordion damaged condition was observed on the body shaft of the stent delivery system at the proximal area.No other anomalies found.Per functional analysis, a deployment test was successfully performed despite the accordion damage condition of the unit.The valve of the stent delivery system was unlocked / opened.The stent was completely deployed.Neither difficulty nor anomaly (resistance, friction, or incomplete stent deployment) was experienced during the deployment procedure.A product history record (phr) review of lot 17896169 revealed no anomalies or non-conformance's during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.For the first complaint device, the reported ¿stent delivery system (sds)-ses- deployment difficulty - partial deployment¿ was confirmed due to the stent 2.0 cm partially deployed condition as received.However, neither the cause of the accordion damaged condition nor the stent partially deployed condition as received could not be conclusively determined during the analysis.Per the observed stent partially deployed condition and accordion damage condition of the unit, it could be suggested that procedural factors and/ or handling factors such as user technique and or vessel characteristic (although unknown) may have contributed to the observed damages.Nonetheless, the functional deployment test was able to be successfully performed despite the stent partially deployed and accordion damage condition of the unit.According to the safety information in the instructions for use ¿if resistance is encountered at any time during the insertion of the procedure, do not force passage.Resistance may cause damage to the stent or lumen.If resistance occurs during movement through the sheath, carefully withdraw the stent system.Once stent deployment has begun, the stent must be fully deployed.The system is not designed for stent repositioning or recapturing.If resistance is felt when initially retracting the outer sheath, do not force deployment.Carefully withdraw the stent system without deploying the stent.Prior to stent deployment, remove all slack from the catheter delivery system.¿neither the phr reviews nor the product analysis suggests that the reported failure could be related to the manufacturing process of the units.Therefore, no corrective or preventive actions will be taken.

Event Description

As reported, the two (2) 8mm x 40mm precise pro rx self-expanding stent (ses) delivery system did not worked in the carotid artery.Additional information was received and per visual analysis of one of the precise pro stent received; the stent of the unit was received 2.0 cm pre-deployed.There was no reported patient injury.The device is expected to be returned for evaluation.
