Manufacturer Narrative

Problem code 4003 captures the reportable event of stent migration.Investigation results: a urinary diversion stent was returned for analysis.A visual evaluation of the returned device revealed that it was returned with the catheter connector.The red connector was disassembled and the grommet was noticed to be missing.It was not returned with the device.No other defects were noted.A functional evaluation was performed and the urinary diversion stent was introduced inside the connector (red) and the stent passed properly.The connector was screwed to the stent and failed the functional test due to the missing grommet; consequently confirming the event of the stent being disconnected and migrating.Based on event analysis, it is most likely that during unpacking, preparation or during the procedure, when the red connector was disassembled, the grommet became lost.Therefore, adverse event related to procedure is selected as the most probable root cause for the complaint.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications at the time of release for distribution.
