Device evaluation: the evo-fc-18-23-12-e device of lot number c2135070 involved in this complaint was not returned for evaluation.With the information provided, a document-based investigation was conducted.It was confirmed with the customer that the stent was not connected to the delivery system through the safety wire when the event occurred.Manufacturing records review: prior to distribution all devices are subjected to a visual inspection and functional inspection to ensure device integrity.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to this complaint issue.Historical data review: the review of the relevant manufacturing records confirms the failure mode has not previously occurred for this work order.Instructions for use and/label review: it should be noted that the instructions for use (ifu0061) lists ¿stent misplacement and/or migration¿ as a potential adverse event.There is no evidence to suggest that the customer did not follow the instructions for use or product label.Image review: an image was not returned for evaluation.Root cause analysis: a definitive root cause could not be determined.A possible root cause can be attributed to difficult patient anatomy / a tight stricture.It is possible that a tight stricture compressed the deployed stent against the white tip of the introducer, thus causing the stent to move during withdrawal of the introducer.However, as the device was not returned for evaluation, the cause of this complaint could not be conclusively determined.Confirmation of complaint: the complaint is confirmed based on customer and/or rep testimony.Confirmed quantity of 01 x used device.Corrective action/correction: complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for similar events.Summary of investigation: according to the initial reporter, the stent became displaced 30 seconds after initial placement.The stent was retrieved using forceps.There was no adverse effect to the patient as a result of this occurrence.
