Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was not returned for analysis.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 and/or complaints from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulty advancing and removing the devices appears to be related to circumstances of the procedure.It should be noted that the account was reportedly performing a kissing balloon technique (kbt), which narrows the access through the guiding catheter due to the multiple devices inserted at once.In this case, it is likely that the balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) and the stent delivery system (sds) interacted with each other during advancement and retraction due to the reduced clearance in the guiding catheter.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
