Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported premature activation was able to be confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.It is possible that inadvertent mishandling during unpackaging caused the sheath to slightly retract thus resulting in the stent to be exposed and partially deploy; however this cannot be confirmed.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
