Manufacturer Narrative
|
Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of an epic self-expanding stent system.The outer sheath, tip, inner sheath and the remainder of the device were checked for damage.Visual examination revealed that the stent is partially deployed 5mm from the sheath.The inner liner is kinked 19mm and 25mm from the tip.Microscopic examination revealed no additional damages.Because there was no evidence of any product quality deficiencies, it was considered likely that the kinks and partial deploy were attributable to failure to follow instructions.Inspection of the remainder of the device presented no other damage or irregularities.
