Manufacturer Narrative

Medical device problem code a150103 captures the reportable event of stent prematurely deployed.A wallstent biliary rx partially covered stent and delivery system were received for analysis.The stent was received fully deployed.Visual inspection found the outer clear sheath was kinked.The outer sheath at the gas section was inspected and the inner sheath was found misaligned with the outer sheath.Also, the gas ramp was found lifted.No other issues with the stent and delivery system were noted.The reported event of stent premature deployment could not be not confirmed as this failure occurred during the procedure and could not be functionally/visually verified.It is most likely that procedural factors encountered during the procedure limited the performance of the device.Handling and manipulation of the device during procedure could have caused the observed damages of the device.However, there is no indication of what the customer reported because the stent was returned completely deployed and the reported event could not be functionally/visually verified.Therefore, a review and analysis of all available information indicated the most probable cause is no problem detected.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.
