Device evaluation: the zisv6-35-125-7-100-ptx device of lot number c1685669 involved in this complaint was not available for evaluation.With the information provided, a document based investigation was conducted.Document review : prior to distribution zisv6-35-125-7-100-ptx devices are subjected to a visual inspection and functional checks to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place at cirl.A review of the manufacturing records for zisv6-35-125-7-100-ptx of lot number c1685669 did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to this complaint issue.The review of relevant manufacturing records, confirms the failure mode has not previously occurred with the current lot number.Based on the information available to date, there is no evidence to suggest that there are any manufacturing issues associated with lot number c1685669.It should be noted that the instructions for use (ifu0118-6) states the following: ¿do not use excessive force to deploy the stent.If excessive resistance is felt when beginning deployment, remove the delivery system without deploying the stent and replace with a new device.¿ there is no evidence to suggest the user did not follow the ifu.Root cause review: a definitive root cause could not be determined from the available information.A possible root cause could be attributed to patient anatomy.It is possible that as the device was advanced via contralateral approach, the patient¿s anatomy may have compressed or gripped the outer sheath of the device resulting in failed deployment.From the information provided it is known that the user successfully deployed the stent outside the patient¿s body after withdrawing the device from the patient upon failed deployment.Summary: the complaint is confirmed based on customer testimony.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.A replacement device was used to complete the procedure.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
