Manufacturer Narrative
|
Device evaluated by mfr: stent delivery system was returned for analysis.A visual examination of the stent found no issues.There was no sign of damage, stretching or lifting of the stent struts.The stent showed no signs of movement and was set equidistant between the proximal and distal markerbands.The crimped stent outer diameter was measured and the result was within maximum crimped stent profile measurement.The balloon cones were reviewed and no issues were noted.The balloon wings were tightly wrapped and evenly folded and were not subjected to positive pressure.A visual and microscopic examination of the bumper tip showed no signs of damage.A visual and tactile examination of the hypotube found multiple hypotube kinks along the full length of the catheter.This type of damage is consistent with excessive force being applied to the delivery system.There was foreign matter (fm) found on the hypotube.The fm fibre was not entangled on the hypotube and was easily removed.The fm was analysed using fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (ftir).The spectrum produced would suggest that the fm is a polyethylene-polyvinyl acetate copolymer.A visual and tactile examination of the outer and inner lumen and mid-shaft section found no issues with the polymer extrusion.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.The investigation conclusion is operational context as the product meets the design & manufacture specification but due to anatomical/procedural factors encountered during the procedure, performance was limited.(b)(4).
