Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported material rupture 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.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents from this lot.It should be noted that there was no damage or leak noted to the stent delivery system (sds) during the inspection prior to use or during preparation of the device, which suggests a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported material rupture.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported material rupture; however, factors that may contribute to material ruptures include, but are not limited to, material damage, interactions with other devices or interaction with lesion calcification and tortuosity.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
