Additional 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 from this lot.It is possible that interaction with the mildly tortuous and mildly calcified anatomy resulted in the ratchet being unable to properly engage and release the stent from the delivery system thus resulting in reported activation failure/ deployment failure; however this cannot be confirmed.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
