Manufacturer Narrative
|
The returned product was subjected to a detailed technical analysis and the corresponding production documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for the reported event.The technical investigation showed that the stent is severely deformed at its distal end, i.E.Several struts are strongly bent.Stent imprints on the exposed balloon surface indicate that the bent struts were initially crimped on the balloon.Outside the deformed zone, the crimped diameter of the stent complies with the specification.Moreover, the device tip is deformed (i.E.Shows an indentation), and both the device shaft and the hypotube are mildly kinked.The guiding catheter used in the intervention was not returned.Review of the production documentation confirmed that the device was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.During final inspection, every stent system undergoes visual inspection to ensure correct stent embedding and homogeneous crimping of the stent.Based on the conducted investigations of the device being subject to this complaint, no material or manufacturing related root cause could be determined.
