Manufacturer Narrative

H10: the catalog number identified in section d4 has not been cleared in the us but is similar to the lifestream products that are cleared in the us.The pro code and 510k number for the lifestream products is identified in d2 and g5.H10: manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the first complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.Therefore, a device history record review is not required.Investigation summary: the sample was not returned for evaluation.The result of the investigation is inconclusive for stent dislodgement and device incompatibility issues.The root cause for the dislodgement and incompatibility issues could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communication.Labeling review: the indication for use for the lifestream product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: the event description states that the lifestream was being used for in a stent placement procedure in the upper femural.This is off label use of the device.The lifestream stent is intended only in the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in the common and external iliac arteries (section b indication for use).Precautions ¿ the device should only be used by physicians who are trained in endovascular procedures and are familiar with the complications, side effects and hazards of peripheral vascular interventions.¿ prior to device use, refer to the covered stent sizing table on the label and read the instructions for use.¿ crossing the implant with catheters or other adjunct devices can result in covered stent dislodgement or damage.Potential patient/device adverse effects that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: ¿ covered stent dislodgement from balloon during tracking procedure ¿ covered stent misplacement during placement procedure directions for use: ¿ should excessive resistance be felt at any time during the insertion process, do not force passage.Site access and preparation ¿ 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.Covered stent size selection ¿ 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 ¿ carefully remove the selected device from the package.¿ 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.¿ flush the delivery system guidewire lumen with sterile saline mixture until saline drops from the distal end of the endovascular system air evacuation ¿ 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.¿ with the distal balloon tip pointing down and positioned below the level of the syringe, pull negative pressure until all air is expelled.¿ 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.¿ attach the prefilled inflation device to the inflation lumen of the catheter hub, ensuring no air bubbles remain at the catheter connection.¿ 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 ¿ advance the endovascular system over the guidewire into the introducer sheath.H10: b5, d4 (expiry date: 08/2023),.
