Cook evolution duodenal - mum - mum stent, metallic expandable, duodenal.Cook evolution colonic - mqr - mqr stent, colonic metallic expandable.Both evolution stents have the same 510k number: k163468.Device evaluation: the evo stents of unknown lot number were not returned to cook ireland for evaluation.With the information provided, document based investigation was conducted.This file was created from the attached journal article.A retrospective study was carried out including 160 patients.The diameter of the stents varied from 22 to 27mm and length varied from 6, 9 to 12 cm [boston wallstent (boston scientific, marlborough, massachusetts, usa) and cook evolution duodenal or colonic stents (cook medical, bloomington, indiana, usa)] depending on the patients¿ conditions and obstructive causes.This file was created from the attached journal article to address seven cases of stent migration.Documents review including ifu review: as the evo devices from unknown lot number, a review of the relevant manufacturing records cannot be conducted.Prior to distribution all evo (evolution colonic stent and evolution duodenal stent ) devices are subject to visual inspection and functional checks to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place at cirl.The instructions for use (b)(4) (for evolution colonic stent system) which informs the user about the potential complications "additional complications include, but are not limited to : perforation, hemorrhage, fever, infection, allergic reaction to medication, hypotension, respiratory depression or arrest, cardiac arrhythmia or arrest.Additional complications include but are not limited to: intestinal perforation, pain, inadequate stent expansion, stent misplacement and/or migration, tumor ingrowth or overgrowth, stent occlusion, ulcerations, pressure necrosis, erosion of the luminal mucosa, septicemia, foreign body sensation, bowel impaction, diarrhea, constipation, peritonitis, symptoms of tenesmus or urgency/incontinence, death (other than due to normal disease progression).The instructions for use (b)(4) (for evolution duodenal stent system) which informs the user about the potential complications: those associated with gi endoscopy include, but are not limited to: perforation, hemorrhage, aspiration, reflux, fever, infection, allergic reaction to medication, hypopotension, respiratory depression or arrest, cardiac arrythmia or arrest.Additional complications include, but are not limited to: pancreatitis, intestinal perforation, pain, indadequate expansion, stent misplacement and/or migration, tumor ingrowth or overgrowth, stent occlusion, ulcerations, pressure necrosis, erosion of the luminal muscosa, septicemia, foreign body sensation, bowel impaction, death (other than due to normal disease progression).There is no evidence to suggest that the customer did not follow the instructions for use.Root cause review: a definitive root cause could not be determined from the available information.Information received is not sufficient enough to confirm that it was the cook stent that contributed to the event.Therefore risk will not be complete due to the limitation of available information.A possible root cause could be attributed to patient condition related, as per instructions for use, stent migration is listed as a potential complications following the placement of this device.Summary: customer complaint is confirmed based on customer testimony.The patient outcome is unknown.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
