Manufacturer Narrative

H10: manufacturing review: the lot history records were reviewed with special attention to the manufacturing and inspection of this product and the product was found to have met the specification prior to shipment.Based on the information available it is not reasonably suggested that a manufacturing process may have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Investigation summary: the sample was not returned for evaluation.A video file was provided showing an angiogram of an area with a placed stent.The flow seems to be obstructed at the proximal end of the stent.No irregularities or any constriction of the stent could be identified.Device compatible accessories were used.It is unknown if the lesion was post dilated; as reported no pre-dilation was performed.Based on video file provided no deficiency of the placed stent could be identified.Therefore, the investigation is closed with inconclusive result and a definite root cause for the event experienced by the customer could not be determined.Labeling review: relevant labeling was reviewed.Correct handling of the device was found to be addressed, as the instruction for use states: "maintain a stationary hold on the white stability sheath during covered stent deployment (.) hold the white stability sheath as close as possible to the introducer without touching the dark brown moving catheter of the distal catheter assembly.Maintain the remainder of the white stability sheath (segment between left and right hand on illustration) relaxed and avoid tension." a covered stent diameter selection table describes the relationship between covered stent diameter and reference vessel or graft diameter.In regards to pta the instruction for use state: 'pre-dilate the stenosis with a pta balloon catheter of appropriate length and diameter for the lesion to be treated." regarding post-dilation the instruction for use states: "post dilate the covered stent with an angioplasty balloon sized appropriately as to ensure complete wall apposition to the reference vessel."' potential complication and adverse are referenced, e.G., pain, thrombotic occlusion, restenosis of the target lesion requiring reintervention, insufficient covered stent expansion.H10: d4 (expiry date: 03/2025).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.
