Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation: the rms-060026-r of lot number c1802783 involved in this complaint was not returned for evaluation.With the information provided, a document-based investigation was conducted.Prior to distribution rms-060026-r devices are subjected to a visual inspection and functional checks to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place at cirl.A review of the manufacturing records for rms-060026-r of lot number c1802783 did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to this complaint issue.The review of relevant manufacturing records confirms the failure mode has not previously occurred with the current lot number.Based on the information available to date, there is no evidence to suggest that there are any manufacturing issues associated with lot number c1802783.It should be noted that the instructions for use (ifu0020-18) states the following: ¿intended use: used for temporary stenting of the ureter in adult patients with extrinsic ureteral obstruction.¿.There is evidence to suggest the user did not follow the ifu.A definitive root cause of off-label use was identified from the available information.The device is intended for use in adult patients only, when the device is used outside of its stated intended use it is not possible to definitively state how the device will perform.As paediatric use is not a stated use as per the ifu it has not been tested in a clinical setting.It should be noted that although the age of the patient is unknown, the procedure was carried out in st.Gallen children¿s hospital.The age of the patient has been requested at length but has not been forthcoming, therefore the file has been investigated on the reasonable assumption that the stent was used in a child.Should contradictory evidence be received, the file will be reopened and updated accordingly.The complaint is confirmed based on customer testimony.According to the initial reporter, the patient did require surgery.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
