Due to the automated mes (manufacturing execution system) system, there are controls in the manufacturing process to ensure the product met specifications upon release.The subject device was not available; therefore, a visual inspection, as well as a functional evaluation, could not be performed.The reported event is covered in the device directions for use (dfu).As well, the risk of the reported event is documented in the risk documentation and there are current controls to mitigate the risk of the as reported event.The reported complaint could not be confirmed, and it could not be definitively determined if the device failed to meet specifications because the product was not returned.It was reported that the stent did not fully open and was removed without complication.It is probable that the reported 'very tortuous' anatomy contributed to the reported event, but as the device was not returned for analysis this cannot be conclusively confirmed.While there are a number of potential causes for the reported issue, because review and analysis of available information failed to identify a definitive cause and the device was not returned, an assignable cause of undeterminable was assigned to this complaint.
