Manufacturer Narrative

Correction to block d4: updated upn number block e1: initial reporter facility name: north medical center kyoto prefectural university of medicine initial reporter city: yoza district, kyoto prefecture block h6: imdrf device code a0406 captures the reportable event of pancreatic stent material deformation.Block h10: the returned advanix pancreatic stent was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that one side of the stent was jammed and damaged.No other problems with the device were noted.The reported event of stent material deformation and device entrapment was confirmed.However, the reported event of stent premature deployment was not confirmed.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.Taking all available information into consideration, most likely, the cause of the problem was due to incorrect positioning of the stent when it was inserted into the scope and manipulation of the device during insertion through the scope.Therefore, the most probable cause is adverse event related to the procedure.
