Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The distal tip of the pusher was found to be damaged, consistent with the sequence of events in the reported event.Because of the damage to the distal tip and the fact that the stent was implanted, the user experience was not able to be replicated.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification.All critical dimensions of the delivery system were measured and found to be within specification.
