Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: imdrf device code a150203 captures the reportable investigation results of guide catheter detached/separated.Block h10: the returned advanix biliary stent was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the guide catheter was detached, and the detached section has evidence of tension forces being applied.The stent was returned attached to the guide catheter.The reported event of the stent being difficult to deploy can be confirmed.Taking all available information into consideration, most likely this was caused by an excess of force applied to the device during the stent deployment attempt.Based on the product analysis, the guide catheter was detached the stent was returned attached to the guide catheter.A microscopic inspection noted that the detached section of the guide catheter has evidence of tension forces applied.Therefore, the most probable cause is adverse event related to the procedure.
