Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: imdrf device code a0401captures the reportable event of guide catheter broken.Block h10: the returned flexima rx biliary stent was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the guide catheter was in good condition.The stent was not returned, and the pull wire was returned without kinks.Additionally, it was identified the push catheter was returned kinked and torn in the distal section and the pull wire was dislodge.The reported event of guide catheter was not confirmed.Taking all available information into consideration, the investigation concluded that most likely the reported event and observed failures were due to procedural factors encountered during the procedure.User manipulation and technique performed during the procedure could have contributed to the push catheter kink.Once the push catheter kinked, the user may have experienced difficulties removing the guide catheter, this may have led the user to apply additional force or tension causing the push catheter tear, the pull wire to dislodge from the push catheter and as a consequence failure to deploy the stent.Therefore, the most probable cause is adverse event related to the procedure.Block h11: corrected block e1 for initial reporter phone.Corrected block d6a for implant date.
