Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Combination product: yes the returned device was subjected to a detailed technical analysis and the corresponding production documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for this event.The technical investigation of the returned instrument revealed that the stent is severely deformed at its proximal end and displaced by about 2 mm in distal direction.Microscopic analysis of the exposed balloon surface revealed clearly visible stent imprints, indicating that the stent was properly crimped in between the two radiopaque markers at the time of delivery.Outside of the deformed zone the crimped diameter of the stent still complies with the specification.The balloon is still well folded and shows no signs of inflation.Review of the production documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.As a part of final inspection every stent system undergoes visual inspection to ensure correct embedding and homogeneous crimping of the stent.Further, the stent outer diameter is verified to 100 percent and the stent retention force of a defined amount of samples is tested from every lot.Based on the conducted investigations, no manufacturing or material related root cause could be determined.
