Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: 14x90/9fr uni plus 75cm was received for analysis.The device was received with the stent in the correct position on the device.The stent was successfully deployed with a little resistance due to kinking to the shaft of the device.A visual examination identified damaged to the centre of the deployed stent.The stent damage noted is located at the same location as the shaft kinking when the stent was mounted on the delivery system.Both the inner and outer shaft of the device were found to be kinked at more than one location and at the same location.This type of damage is consistent with excessive force being applied to the device.A visual examination identified no damage or issues with the stent holder, stent cups or tip of the device that could potentially have contributed to the complaint incident.
