A visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported misassembled component could not be confirmed as the available evidence of the returned device demonstrated no manufacturing abnormalities.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents from this lot.A cine was received and reviewed by an abbott vascular clinical specialist: the reviewer concluded that the images of the xience skypoint des 2.75 x 23 rx us provided confirmation that the device balloon, when inflated, did not extend to the end of the proximal stent edge.It appears the stent was fully expanded proximally despite the balloon appearing to be a couple of centimeters distal to the proximal stent edge.A device malfunction is visualized although a probable cause could not be determined.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported misassembled component.In this case, due to analysis of the returned device and cine results, a conclusive cause for the reported misassembled component and noted failure to fold cannot be determined, as the reported device issue cannot be confirmed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
