Event or Problem Description
|
|
As reported, there was a problem with the 29 x 60 x 135 palmaz genesis transhepatic biliary stent delivery system (sds) on a.035" opta pro where it dislodges in the body before the stent was meant to be deployed.There was no reported patient injury.It was mentioned that the user has had three different sizes, all dislodged, and the stent being knocked off in wrong location.It seemed that if the stent meets any resistance, it¿s knocking it off the balloon, then when the physician goes to remove the stent delivery system, the stent dislodges.The device will not be returned for analysis.
