As reported by the field, during an endovascular embolization, an eu ent4.5mmd 14mml wno dstl tp intracranial stent (enc451400, 8337176) was placed in target site and started to release.The physician could not observe the stent positioning marker and the stent distal markers.The doctor retracted the stent and gave up implanting a stent and completed the surgery.Additional event information received on 30-jul-2024 indicated that the radiopaque of device was worse than expected.There were no procedural delays due to the event.

Product complaint # (b)(4).Complaint conclusion: as reported by the field, during an endovascular embolization, an eu ent4.5mmd 14mml wno dstl tp intracranial stent (enc451400, 8337176) was placed in target site and started to release.The physician could not observe the stent positioning marker and the stent distal markers.The doctor retracted the stent and gave up implanting a stent and completed the surgery.Additional event information received on 30-jul-2024 indicated that the radiopaque of device was worse than expected.There were no procedural delays due to the event.A non-sterile eu ent4.5mmd 14mml wno dstl tp intracranial stent was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, a visual inspection was performed, and it was noted that the stent was already detached from the unit.The delivery wire and the introducer were in good condition (i.E., no kinks, bents, or elongations).A microscopic examination was performed, and, under magnification, the 8 stent markers were confirmed to be properly assembled and undamaged.The stent was inspected under x-ray, and the markers were properly identified and visualized.The issue reported was not confirmed since the markers were properly identified and visualized during the evaluation.100% receiving inspection was completed on the marker band wire.The vrd stents require a distal and proximal marker wire made of tantalum.¿ tantalum is a radiopaque material.A device history record (dhr) was performed and it indicated this product was final inspection tested at lake region medical and was determined to be acceptable.During the manufacturing process each device undergoes 100% inspection for the following, which look for missing stent marker: ¿ verification of marker gluing ¿ verification of stent post-coating.There is a separate 100% quality inspection also performed on each device, which includes the following which look for missing stent marker: ¿ verification of final assembly based on the device evaluation, the dhr, the review of the process controls in place, and the results obtained from the returned stent, it is unlikely the lack of visualization of the distal marker is attributable to the device itself.It is possible for the user to have unintentionally missed visualizing the distal markers but still visualize the other markers present.During the procedure there are multiple radiopaque markers present, the distal markers on the stent markers are the least visible comparatively (due to their relatively small mass).Where the stent is placed (bone density, surrounding tissue) could potentially impact visibility of the distal markers.Additional controls are in place to mitigate the hazard in instructions for use (ifu).In step 13 of the ifu it states ¿continue advancing the delivery wire into the infusion catheter until the distal edge of the delivery wire reference marker (150 cm from the delivery wire distal tip) enters the introducer.Loosen the rhv locking ring, remove the introducer, and set it aside.Note: fluoroscopy may be used up to this point at the physician¿s discretion.As part of cerenovus quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no capa activity is required.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended to identify statistical signals for consideration of further correction action.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.
