Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation the zisv6-35-125-6-140-ptx device of lot number c1801596 involved in this complaint was not available for evaluation.With the information provided, a document-based investigation was conducted.Prior to distribution zisv6-35-125-6-140-ptx devices are subjected to a visual inspection and functional checks to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place at cirl.A review of the manufacturing records for zisv6-35-125-6-140-ptx of lot number c1801596 did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to this complaint issue.The review of relevant manufacturing records, confirms the failure mode has not previously occurred with the current lot number.Based on the information available to date, there is no evidence to suggest that there are any manufacturing issues associated with lot number c1801596.It should be noted that the instructions for use (ifu0118-6)ifu states the following: ¿¿ if resistance is met during advancement of the delivery system, do not force passage.Remove the delivery system and replace with a new device.Continuing to force passage may ultimately cause partial deployment of the stent.¿¿ there is no evidence to suggest the user did not follow the ifu.A definitive root cause could not be determined as the circumstances of use could not be replicated in the laboratory.A possible root cause could be attributed to difficult patient anatomy.It is possible that difficult patient anatomy may have contributed to resistance during advancement which may have prevented the user from accessing the target location.The complaint is confirmed based on customer testimony.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
