Event Description
|
It was reported that there was foreign material present in device.The target lesion was located in the left anterior descending artery.A 2.75 x 12mm synergy xd drug eluting stent was selected for use.However, there was a clear plastic/glue nub on the distal end of the stent delivery catheter.The catheter got caught in the sheath and could not be delivered.The procedure was completed with another of the same device.There were no patient complications reported.

Device evaluated by mfr.: synergy xd mr us 2.75 x 12mm stent delivery system was returned for analysis.Examination of the crimped stent via scope found no issues with the stent.There were no signs of damage, stretching or lifting of the stent struts.The stent showed no signs of movement and was set between the proximal and distal marker bands.The crimped stent outer diameter was measured and the result was within max crimped stent profile measurement.The balloon cones were reviewed via scope, and no issues were noted.The balloon wings were tightly wrapped and evenly folded.The balloon had not been subjected to positive pressure.A visual and tactile examination of the hypotube identified mutltple hypotube kinks.Examination of the tip via scope found no damage to the tip.The shaft polymer extrusion including the distal and mid-shaft sections were examined via scope and tactile examination.Necking/ kinking of the shaft polymer extrusion was noted 34cm proximal to the distal end of the tip.Measurements of the mid shaft bond were performed.For visual reference purpose a synergy xd catheter batch (3.50/16mm lot 26768345-037) was used to compare reference mid shaft bond and complaint midshaft bond for visual purpose.Mid shaft bond was not acceptable as per visual standard specifications.No foreign material was present on the device.Device to device interaction was performed with a 0.014" guide wire loaded into a test 5f guide catheter.The complaint device was loaded onto the guide wire and inserted into the 5f guide catheter, however, the device could not pass into the guide catheter due to the raised mid shaft bond.No other issues were noted with the device.
