Manufacturer Narrative

Pma/510(k) # p050017 s002 and s003.(b)(4).The ziv5-18-125-8-40 device involved in this complaint was not available for evaluation.With the information provided, a document based investigation was conducted.From customer testimony, it is known that the first placed stent size was 8mm by 80mm.The physician attempted to advance the complaint device through the previously placed stent, but was unable to pass the device through the tortuosity there is no evidence to suggest this event did not occur.Therefore, the customer complaint is confirmed based on customer testimony.Possible causes for this occurrence could include a difficult patient anatomy, the complaint device becoming entrapped on the previously placed stent, or the use of a non recommended wire guide.From customer testimony, the patient anatomy was tortuous which could have provided resistance to the device advancement.In addition, the use of a 0.014¿ diameter wire guide could have provided insufficient support during advancement.These factors could have caused or contributed to the inability to advance the device to the target lesion.However, the device was not returned for evaluation, the information has not yet been provided, and the circumstances of use cannot be replicated in a laboratory environment.Therefore, a definitive root cause cannot be determined.As per the product packaging insert: ¿introduce the extra or ultra stiff wire guide (6.0 french systems accept 0.035-inch wire guide; 5.0 french system accepts 0.018-inch wire guide) through the access catheter across the distal segment of the target lesion."if placements of multiple stents are required in a patient, to cover the length of the lesion, the following recommendations should be considered: in relation to the lesion site, first, the stent should be deployed in the narrow distal area, followed by the proximal locations (i.E., a second stent should be placed proximally to the previously placed stent)." prior to distribution all ziv5 (zilver 518) devices are subject to visual inspection and functional checks to ensure device integrity.A review of the relevant manufacturing records revealed no discrepancies that could have contributed to this complaint.There is no evidence to suggest this event did not occur.Therefore, the customer complaint is confirmed based on customer testimony.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Quality engineering will continue to monitor complaints of this nature for potential emerging trends.

Event Description

Patient's anatomy was tortuous.Other devices, a guiding sheath and 0.014" wire guide, were advanced by radial approach and a balloon device could also advance to the target site prior to insertion of delivery system of stent.The first stent was placed successfully, but the delivery system of the second stent (= complaint device) could not advance to the target site due to the edge of the first stent and tortuous anatomy.Then, the physician decided not to place additional stent other than the first one but performed high pressure poba in the lesion instead to complete the procedure.There have been no adverse effects to the patient reported.
