Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported material separation was able to be confirmed.The reported activation failure was unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.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.As there was no reported damage noted to the device during the inspection prior to use, the investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that inadvertent mishandling and/or interaction with the anatomy/other devices resulted in the noted device damages (pinched/kinked sheath) thus resulting in the ratchet being unable to properly engage and release the stent from the delivery system thus resulting in reported activation/deployment failure.Interaction/manipulation of the device likely resulted in the reported tip separation/noted inner member/jacket separation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.B1, b2: adverse event/outcomes attributed: an adverse event did not occur, intervention was not reported.H1: type of reportable event: incorrectly reported as a serious injury.H6: health effect - impact code 4641, 4614 - removed.
