Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: the stent delivery system (sds) was returned for analysis.The stent was not returned for analysis.As per complaint report the stent was deployed at the targeted lesion during the procedure.The balloon cones were reviewed and the balloon folds appeared opened.It was evident that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure and a vacuum was pulled.Presence of a red substance which appeared to be blood was also observed inside the balloon body.A visual examination of the bumper tip showed no signs of damage.A visual and tactile examination found multiple kinks along several locations of the hypotube shaft.Hypotube kinks most likely occurred due to forces that were applied on the delivery system during handling of the device.A visual and tactile examination of the extrusion found a longitudinal inner and outer shaft polymer extrusion tear which was stretching for 58 mm distal from the guidewire exchange port; the core wire was observed to be exposed by the tear.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.A review of the manufacturing process was carried out as part of the analysis.The most probable root cause is operational context as device performance was limited due to anatomical procedural factors.(b)(4).
