Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Combination product: yes.The returned device was subjected to a detailed technical analysis and the corresponding product release 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 balloon has been inflated and was deflated in the as-returned state.Microscopic inspection of the balloon surface showed stent imprints, indicating that the stent was properly crimped in between the two radiopaque markers at the time of delivery.The stent and the stent protector were not returned for analysis.Review of the product release documentation confirmed that the device was manufactured according to specifications and fulfilled all the requirements of in-process and final inspection.During final inspection, every stent system undergoes visual inspection to ensure correct stent 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 number of samples is tested from every lot.Based on the conducted investigations of the device being subject to this complaint, no material or manufacturing related root cause could be determined.It should be noted that the ifu advises the user to visually examine the stent system prior to the procedure to ensure that the stent is centered between the two radiopaque markers on the balloon.
