A visual inspection was performed on the returned device and the reported stent dislodgement was confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Based on the review of similar incident(s) there is no indication of a lot specific product quality issue.The investigation determined the stent dislodgement appear to be related to case circumstances of the procedure.Based on the reported information, it is likely that the stent implant was inadvertently pulled off during removal of the protective sheath.As there were visible crimp marks noted on the balloon between the markers, this suggests that the stent was originally positioned correctly and securely at the time of manufacture.The noted stent damages likely occurred during packing for return analysis.It should be noted that per instructions for use peripheral stent system omnilink elite states: do not remove stent from its delivery balloon, as removal may damage the stent and / or to stent embolization.Carefully inspect the omnilink elite stent system prior to use to verify that the stent has not been damaged in shipment and that the device dimensions are suitable for the specific procedure.Take care to avoid unnecessary handling.In this case, although the device was not inspected prior to use, use of the device without the stent did not cause or contribute to any device malfunctions or adverse patient effect.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture.
