Event Description
|
It was reported that the device was supposed to be a 4.0x12 mm xience sierra stent delivery system (sds) but when they went to use the device it appeared it was a smaller size.It appeared the device was around 4.0x8 mm from the x-ray.The device was inserted in the patient but once the incorrect size was noted, it was removed and the correct size was brought and was implanted without issue.Reportedly, the patient was unstable with low blood pressure throughout the procedure and eventually deteriorated into ventricular fibrillation, requiring one shock.There was a delay of no more than 2 minutes with no reported harm to the patient.The patient made an uncomplicated recovery and was discharged 2 days later.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported labeling problem was not confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.The reported patient effects of ventricular fibrillation (cardiac arrhythmias) and hypotension are listed in the xience sierra everolimus eluting coronary stent systems instructions for use as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported labeling problem related to incorrect stent length.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
