Manufacturer Narrative

H10: the catalog number identified in section d4 has not been cleared in the us but is similar to the lifestream products that are cleared in the us.The pro code and 510 k number for the lifestream products are identified in d2 and g4.H10: manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the second complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.However, the device history records were reviewed and there was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: the sample was returned for evaluation.The returned sample exhibited two pinches present on the shaft.One was located 11mm from the end of sleeve and the second was located 25mm from the end of the sleeve positioned underneath the sleeve.The sleeve was present on the balloon but positioned 14mm from the end of the distal tip.The shaft pinches point to user handling techniques during sleeve removal and unlikely to be manufacturing related.The lifestream device is 100% inspected for damage during production.The device was inflated with water to 8atm without issue and the balloon held pressure successfully.It deflated without issue also.The evaluation also confirmed the stent dislodged over the distal marker band by 3mm with no evidence of balloon expansion.The stent did not expand successfully during the balloon inflation attempt as it slipped off the distal end of the balloon.The result of the investigation is inconclusive for the reported stent failure to deploy issue.The root cause for the reported stent failure to deploy issue could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications and sample evaluation.Labeling review: the instruction for use for the lifestream product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: indication for use the lifestream¿ balloon expandable vascular covered stent is indicated for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in common and external iliac arteries.Warnings the lifestream¿ balloon expandable vascular covered stent is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only.Do not resterilize and/or reuse the device.Reuse, resterilization, reprocessing and/or repackaging may create a risk of patient or user infection, compromise the structural integrity and/or essential material and design characteristics of the device, which may lead to device failure, and/or injury, illness or death of the patient.Use only diluted contrast medium for balloon inflation.Do not use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon as this may cause uneven expansion and difficulty in deployment of the covered stent.For the contrast/saline solution, a ratio of 50/50 is recommended.The covered stent cannot be repositioned after it is deployed.Precautions: the device should only be used by physicians who are trained in endovascular procedures and are familiar with the complications, side effects and hazards of peripheral vascular interventions.Anatomical variances may complicate the procedure; use caution when advancing the endovascular system through tortuous or difficult anatomy.Prior to device use, refer to the covered stent sizing table on the label and read the instructions for use.Do not use if the delivery system cannot be properly flushed.Crossing the implant with catheters or other adjunct devices can result in covered stent dislodgement or damage.This device has not been tested for use in overlapped conditions with stents or covered stents from other manufacturers.Store in a cool and dry place.Keep away from sunlight.Directions for use: endovascular system preparation 4.Carefully remove the selected device from the package.5.Inspect the covered stent for adherence to the balloon and centered placement in relation to the balloon marker bands.If the covered stent is not centered and/or does not firmly adhere to the balloon, do not use.6.Flush the delivery system guidewire lumen with sterile saline mixture until saline drops from the distal end of the endovascular system.Introduction of the endovascular system and placement of the covered stent 13.Advance the endovascular system over the guidewire into the introducer sheath.14.Further advance the endovascular system to the target treatment site within the introducer sheath and position the covered stent across the lesion.Verify that the covered stent is still centered within the balloon marker bands.Slowly retract the introducer sheath / guiding catheter while maintaining the position of the covered stent.Ensure the introducer sheath is retracted far enough to not compromise the balloon expansion and covered stent release.15.Slowly inflate the endovascular system balloon to nominal pressure, expanding the covered stent.Confirm complete expansion via fluoroscopic visualization.A 15 ¿ 30 second inflation time is recommended.Important: do not exceed the rated burst pressure of the delivery system.16.After covered stent deployment, apply negative pressure to the balloon until it is fully deflated.Withdraw the delivery system while maintaining negative pressure with the guidewire remaining across the lesion.17.Confirm optimal covered stent wall apposition using standard angiographic techniques.If the covered stent has not achieved full wall apposition, a post dilation with an appropriately sized balloon should be performed.5-8 mm devices may be post-dilated with balloons up to 10 mm in diameter.9-12 mm devices may be post-dilated with balloons up to 12 mm in diameter.Maintain a neutral pressure.Important: do not apply positive pressure to the balloon.H10: d4 (expiration date: 06/2022).H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.H3 other text : see h10.
