Manufacturer Narrative

The complainant was unable to report the lot number; therefore, the manufacture date and the expiration date are unknown.However, the complainant reported that the device was not expired.(b)(6).(b)(4).A stone cone device was returned for analysis.A visual analysis revealed that it was received in a closed state.There were kinks on the distal end of the device, past the distal stop.The blue/green coating was pulling away from the distal stop on the distal side.There was residue between the blue sheath and the white heat shrink.A functional test was conducted and found the blue sheath could not be retracted or advanced.No other issues were noted.Based on the condition of the device, it is likely that operational factors contributed to the failures found during product analysis.It is likely that the blue/green coating was pulled away from the distal stop when the device experienced excessive force that bent the distal tip, kinked the working length, and resulted in blue/green coating pulling away from the distal stop.The direction for use (dfu) states "if resistance is encountered while attempting to withdraw the coil do not exert excessive force." therefore, the complaint investigation conclusion code for this complaint is failure to follow instructions, which indicates that the problems traced to the user not following the manufacturer's instructions.A manufacturing batch record review was unable to be performed as the lot number is unknown.However, a ship history review was performed to identify the most probable lots, and a dhr history review on the most probable lots did not identify any deviations within manufacturing/service processes that could have contributed to the event.Labeling review was performed and found no evidence that the device was used in a manner inconsistent with the labeling.
