Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: patient code 2001 captures the reportable event of perforation.Patient code 1888 captures the reportable event of hemorrhage.Device problem code 2976 captures the reportable event of stent material deformation.Block h10: a wallstent enteral uncovered stent and delivery system were received for analysis.The stent was received completely deployed.Visual examination found that the wires of the stent was broken and unraveled.The outer diameter and stent length were measured and were found to be within specification.No other issues were noted to the stent and delivery system.The reported event of stent material deformation was confirmed as the wires of the stent were broken and unraveled.It may be that the technique used by the user during the stent deployment limited the performance of the device and contributed to the damage on the stent which caused hemorrhage and perforation.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.Hemorrhage and perforation are noted within the ifu as a potential adverse event associated with the use of this device.Therefore, a review and analysis of all available information indicated the most probable cause is adverse event related to procedure.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.
