Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: medical device problem code a150103 captures the reportable event of stent premature deployment.Block h10: a wallstent enteral delivery system was received for analysis; the stent was not returned.Visual inspection was performed and found the outer blue sheath was returned kinked.No other issues were noted to the delivery system.The reported event of stent prematurely deployed could not be confirmed as the stent was fully deployed during the procedure and the failure cannot be functionally or visually verified.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, there is no information that this device was used in a manner inconsistent with the directions for use (dfu) / product label.Additionally, the reported event of hemorrhage was noted within the instructions for use (ifu) as a known potential adverse event related to the use of the device.Taking all available information into consideration, the investigation concluded that the reported events and the observed failure were most likely due to anatomical and procedural factors encountered during the procedure.It may be that handling and manipulation of the device during procedure could have led to the kinked outer blue sheath.The kink could have led to excess force used during deployment resulting in the stent prematurely deploying and the stent penetrating into the patient's mucosa.Therefore, a review and analysis of all available information indicated the most probable cause is adverse event related to procedure.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.Block h11: blocks e1 (initial reporter title, first name, last name, facility name, address 1 and 2, city, state, post code, phone number, email address and fax number) e2 and e3 have been corrected.
