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 is not available; therefore, functional testing as well as visual testing cannot 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.Additional information provided by the customer indicated that the device was implanted successfully.The percentage of parent artery stenosis and stenosis in flow diverter stent during the follow-up angio was >50% with distal fish-mouthing.There was reduction in the blood flow to the distal cerebral tissue due to reported stenosis and flow was recruiting from contralateral side.There was no neurological deficit or sequelae noticed due to stenosis.The patient had to undergo an additional stent placement due to the reported event.In the physician¿s opinion, the stenosis was not related to the subject device rather due to the known phenomena of neointimal hyperplasia.The devices performed as intended.There were no difficulties encountered during the procedure that could have contributed to reported issue.It was noted that there was parent vessel stenosis prior to treatment.The subject device was implanted at curved vessel segment.Based upon medical review, the harm observed in this complaint is anticipated in nature as per the device risk assessment.An assignable cause of anticipated procedural complication will be assigned to the reported ¿stenosis with stent deformation¿, as a product related root cause does not apply and the issue is due to a known physiological effect of the procedure and/or patient condition noted with the directions for use, product labelling and/or risk documentation files.
