The device was not returned for analysis.However, the reported device expiration issue was able to be confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents from this lot.It should be noted that the xience sierra everolimus eluting coronary stent system instructions for use states: note the ¿use by¿ (expiration) date specified on the product label.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to deviation of the instructions for use as the device was inadvertently used past the expiration date.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
