Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a de novo lesion in the moderately calcified, moderately tortuous, 75% stenosed proximal left anterior descending coronary artery.A 3.25x12mm xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) was advanced, and the balloon was inflated three times at 12 atmospheres.However, the balloon could only partially deflate after stent implantation.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported deflation problem was not confirmed.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 identified no similar incidents from this lot.It was reported that the xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) was prepped with 100% contrast.It should be noted that the xience skypoint everolimus eluting coronary stent system instruction for use states: prepare an inflation device/syringe with diluted contrast medium.The material required lists contrast diluted 1:1 with heparinized normal saline.In this case, it appears the instruction for use (ifu) deviation related to incorrect contrast dilution may have contributed to the reported event.The investigation determined the reported deflation issue appears to be related to the user error as 100% contrast was used to prepare the device.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
