The reported event was inconclusive.No sample was returned for evaluation.A potential root cause for this failure could be "material selection".The lot number was unknown; therefore, the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "ureteral stents should be checked periodically for signs of encrustation and proper function.Periodic checks of the stent by cystoscopic and/or radiographic procedures are recommended at intervals deemed to be appropriate by the physician in consideration of the individual patient¿s condition and other patient specific factors.When long-term use is indicated, it is recommended that indwelling time not exceed 365 days.The stent is not intended as a permanent indwelling device." h11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.H3 other text : the device was not returned.
