Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The instructions for use state the following: "determine the proper stent length for the patient.This is generally calculated from the baseline pyelogram.Accurate measurements will optimize drainage efficiency and patient comfort.Insert the cystoscope then pass the guidewire* through the scope until the tip is in the renal pelvis.Move the pigtail straightener over the proximal end (kidney coil end) of the ureteral stent allowing easier insertion onto the guidewire.Remove pigtail straightener once the stent is secure on the guidewire.Pass the stent over the guidewire through the cystoscope by using the push catheter for proper placement.Watch the distal end (bladder coil end) of the stent or the radiopaque, proximal end of the pusher.Stop advancing when the stent¿s distal end marker reaches the ureterovesical junction (uvj).(see below for proper placement directions on the multi-length ureteral stent.) withdraw the guidewire slowly.The stent will form a pigtail automatically.Carefully remove the push catheter.Activate the guidewire coating according to the ¿instructions for use¿ found within the guidewire packaging.Multi-length ureteral stent placement: to accurately size this stent count the marker bands as it is being advanced into the ureter.The first large band indicates the 22cm length.The second and third bands indicate 24cm and 26cm lengths respectively.The last large band is the 28cm length.If you need to place for the 30cm and 32cm lengths, use the attached suture or endoscopic forceps to gently pull back on the stent unwinding the coil from the kidney".(b)(4).The device was not returned.
