The reported event is inconclusive because no sample was returned.A potential root cause for this event could be, "design qualification" or "design output".The device was used for treatment purposes, however, it is unknown if the device had met relevant specifications or contributed to the reported event.No manufacturing issues or non-conformances were noted in the dhr review that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.Based on the results of the investigation no additional action is required at this time.The device was not returned for evaluation.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "with any ureteral stent, migration is a possible complication which could require medical intervention for removal.Selection of too short a stent may result in migration." "determine the proper stent length for the patient.This is generally calculated from the baseline pyelogram.Accurate measurements will optimize drainage effi ciency and patient comfort.Submerge stent in sterile water to activate the coating." the device was not returned.
