Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: imdrf device code a0401 captures the reportable event of guide catheter break.Block h10: the advanix-naviflex biliary stent was returned without the stent.A visual evaluation of the delivery system noted that the pullwire was kinked, the guide catheter was detached and the push catheter suture hole was torn.No other problems with the device were noted.Based on all the gathered information, the failures found could have been caused by operational factors such as the deployment technique of the stent, and excess force was applied during the pull wire retraction, which caused friction between the push catheter and guide catheter, causing the torn on the push catheter and the kink on the pull wire.Therefore, adverse event related to procedure is selected as the most probable cause for the complaint.
