Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to the operational context of the procedure.In this case, it is likely the device interacted with the heavily tortuous lesion during advancement, as resistance was noted, resulting in the reported failure to advance.Further interaction with the challenging anatomy during advancement likely contributed to the reported material separation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that this was a procedure to treat the radial artery with heavy tortuosity.A 3.0x18mm xience sierra stent delivery system (sds) was advancing towards the target lesion; however, resistance met during advancement due to the heavy tortuosity.Prior to reaching the target lesion, the mid shaft became separated.Since the sds did not advance far enough (both parts still within reach outside the body), both separated parts were able to be simply removed.The target lesion was successfully treated with a new 3.0x18mm xience sierra sds.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
