Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: imdrf impact code f23 captures the reportable event of unexpected medical intervention.Imdrf impact code f2202 captures the reportable event of endoscopic procedure.Block h10: the device was not returned for analysis; however, a photo of the device was provided.Media inspection was performed and found the stent was deformed.The investigation concluded that, without analysis of the actual device, there is a lack of objective evidence or descriptive conditions of the event required to determine a probable cause of the event.Since the investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the cause of the reported adverse event, cause not established is selected as the most probable cause for the complaint.A product labeling review identified that the device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.Block h11: correction to the initial mdr in blocks b5, h1, and h6 device code has been corrected.
