Manufacturer Narrative

Device eval by mfr: the venous wallstent was received with the stent over reconstrained on the device and the tip withdrawn into the shaft.A visual and tactile examination found the blue outer shaft of the device to be separated exposing the black inner shaft at approximately 25mm distal of the main t-valve.The shaft of the device was also found to be kinked at more than one location.This type of damage is consistent with excessive force being applied to the device.The stent of the device could not be deployed for examination due to severe shaft damage.
