Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The returned flexima rx biliary stent was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the guide catheter was detached with the stent loaded on it.The pull wire was not broken.Additionally it was observed that the push catheter was kinked and it was torn.No other issues with the device were noted.The reported event was not confirmed.According to the product conclusion, it is most likely that user manipulation, some technique applied while inserting the device and/or even tortuous anatomy could have contributed on kinking the push catheter, once the push catheter was kinked the user may have experienced difficulties on releasing the stent which took the user to apply some technique and/or extra force that ended detaching the guide catheter and tearing part of the push catheter, as result of this issue the user perceived that the stent had a premature deployment.Therefore, adverse event related to procedure is selected as the most probable root cause for the complaint.Since the pullwire was not found broken, it was not possible to confirm the reported complaint, this code will be assigned as no problem detected.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.
