Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The returned instrument 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 the reported event.The technical investigation revealed that the balloon is well folded and shows no signs of inflation.The proximal balloon shoulder is slightly compressed/opened.Microscopic inspection revealed stent imprints on the exposed balloon surface, indicating that the stent was initially crimped on the balloon.The stent was not returned for analysis.Review of the product release documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.As a part of final inspection every stent system undergoes visual inspection to ensure correct embedding and homogeneous crimping of the stent.Further, the stent outer diameter is verified to 100 percent.Based on the conducted investigations of the device being subject to this complaint, no material or manufacturing related root cause was determined.Pk papyrus is indicated for the treatment of acute perforations of native coronary arteries and coronary bypass grafts in vessels 2.5 to 5.0 mm in diameter.As such, this device is typically used in emergent response to a life-threatening adverse procedural event unrelated to use of the pk papyrus.
