Manufacturer Narrative
|
A visual and dimensional inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported stent fracture/break and material deformation was not confirmed.The reported failure to advance could not be tested as it was based on operational circumstances.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 did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined the reported failure to advance appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure; however, the investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported stent fracture/break and material deformation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
