Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Combination product: yes the returned instrument 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 the reported event.The technical investigation of the returned device revealed that the hypotube has fractured about 133 mm distal to the kink protector.Kinks were observed close to the fracture sites of both fragments.The crosssections of the hypotube are no longer circular but compressed and the polymer coating is plastically deformed.The findings indicate that the hypotube most probably fractured as a result of significant bending outside of the patients body.Review of the production documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.Based on the conducted investigations, no manufacturing or material related root cause could be determined.The root cause for the complaint event is most likely related to the handling of the device.It should be noted that the ifu advises the user not to force the passage if any resistance is felt, and that the procedure should be aborted if the stent system is unable to reach or cross the lesion easily.
