Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported that after the successful stent placement, the patient coughed intensely during removal of delivery system, and then the placed stent was moved.As a result of analysis of returned device, stent was deployed, and was returned with the delivery system.The y-connector was pulled back halfway.There were no curve and kinking on the stent loaded part of the outer sheath, and the skirt was folded.In the inner sheath, kinking was observed but it is not clear if it occurred during transit or procedure.Blood and/or body fluid were hardened on the skirt, but it was successfully spread open to its original state.It was confirmed from the device history record that device had been manufactured with no significant issues and passed all the inspections successfully.Based on the skirt of the stent being folded, y-connector being pulled back halfway and the description, it is assumed when the delivery system was removed, the inner sheath was not positioned back to its original position into the outer sheath and removal was tried.The tip got caught in the skirt and the patient coughed, causing the stent to be moved during removal of the delivery system.Taewoong's user manual of this device states the following."after stent deployment, removal of the introducer system and guide wire from the patient should be handled with care.During removal, if strong resistance is felt, wait 3~5 minutes for the stent to expand then try again.(position the inner sheath to its original position into the outer sheath before removal)" this suspected device is not registered in the us but we will continuously monitor the same or similar customer complaints through accurate analyses.
