Event Description

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported stent break was not confirmed.The reported failure to advance could not be replicated in a testing environment as it was related to operational context of the procedure.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 similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the mildly tortuous and heavily calcified lesion causing the reported failure to advance and noted stent material deformation.The reported stent break was not confirmed during return analysis of the device; however, it is possible the noted material deformation was misidentified as a stent break by the account.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
