Block b3: date of event was approximated to (b)(6) 2021 based on the date the manufacturer became aware of the event.Block h6: medical device problem code a010402 captures the reportable event of stent migration.Block h10: the returned advanix biliary stent was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the stent presented a color variation, the stent was damaged close to the proximal tip.The naviflex delivery system was not returned for analysis.No other issues with the device were noted.The reported event was confirmed.According to the product analysis, it is most likely that the user manipulation, technique applied during the procedures and/or even tortuous anatomy could have contributed on this problem through the time that it was placed, once the stent was damaged it is possible that migration was due to the damage presented.Therefore, adverse event related to procedure is selected as the most probable root cause for the complaint.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.
