Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.The other xact referenced is filed under a separate medwatch report number.Evaluation summary: visual, dimensional and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.Analysis of the returned device revealed the blockage was material from the inner member of the catheter.It is likely that improper loading of the nav6 barewire most likely scratched the interior of the xact guidewire lumen and the shavings formed a blockage that prevented further advancement of the xact unit over the wire.The difficulty advancing over the guide wire was 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 of the reported lot did not reveal a lot specific product issue.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.

Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a mildly calcified internal carotid artery.A barewire would not advance through the guide wire lumen of a 9.0 x 40 mm xact self-expanding stent system.A new 9.0 x 40 mm xact was going to be used; however, the guide wire could not advance through the lumen of the second xact either.Outside the anatomy a command guide wire also could not advance through the inner member of the xact stent systems.It appeared that the guide wire lumen of the two xact delivery systems was plugged.A non-abbott stent delivery system was successfully used to complete the procedure.There was no clinically significant delay in procedure and no adverse patient effects.No additional information was provided.
