The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was returned for evaluation.A potential root cause for this event could be, "material selection".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: "avoid improper handling of stent such as bending, kinking, tearing, etc.Misuse could damage the overall integrity of the stent." "care should be exercised when removing the stent from the inner polybag to eliminate tearing or fragmentation." "the insertion of a ureteral stent should only be done by those individuals who have comprehensive training in the techniques and risks of the procedure." the device was not returned.
