Manufacturer Narrative
|
A search for non-conformance associated with this part/lot number combination did not reveal any production-related issues relevant to the complaint that occurred during manufacturing of the device.The device was implanted in the patient and the delivery system was not returned to the manufacturer for analysis; therefore, the alleged product issue cannot be confirmed.The instructions for use (ifu) identifies device migration as potential complications associated with use of the device.Ifu precautions indicate "exercise caution when crossing the deployed/detached lvis device with adjunctive devices such as guidewires, catheters, microcatheters or balloon catheters to avoid disrupting the device geometry and device placement.".

Event Description
|
It was reported that after the stent was deployed at the desired target location (the right ic, proximal to c4), the delivery wire was unable to be removed as it encountered resistance in the stent.The reaction of the force attempting to withdraw the wire nearly drew the headway21 microcatheter into the stent.Eventually, the wire and the microcatheter were removed from the patient successfully; however, the stent became dislodged proximal to the target location.The cause of the delivery wire getting stuck in the stent was unknown.The physician decided not to remove the stent as it achieved good vessel apposition despite not being positioned properly at the target location.The patient will be followed up.No patient injury was reported.
