Due to the automated mes system there are controls in the manufacturing process to ensure the product met specifications upon release.The device was returned.The reported lot number was confirmed from the returned packaging.On visual inspection, the proximal end of the stabilizer was kinked.Functional testing was not required as the defect was visually confirmed.The reported event is covered in the device directions for use (dfu).As well, the risk of the reported event is documented in the risk documentation and there are current controls to mitigate the risk of the as reported event.As per the additional information it was noticed that the hypo tube was broken as he began to advance the entire system per the dfu, the guide catheter was flushed prior to insertion of the stent delivery system, continuous flush maintained and the anatomy was averagely tortuous.The device was returned and it was noted that the stabilizer was kinked rather than fractured, as was reported.It is probable that the kink was observed as a fractured, therefore the reported event was confirmed.An assignable cause of not confirmed will be assigned to the reported stent stabilizer broken/fractured during use, as it was noted not to be fractured.An assignable cause of procedural factors will be assigned to the analyzed stent stabilizer kinked/bent, the issue is associated with a product that meets stryker design and manufacture specifications and was used in according with the dfu but due to procedural and/or anatomical factors during use, the product performance was limited.The manufacturer has reviewed all information and determined this event no longer meets the requirement of the reportable event for the device in question.
