Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation the evo-10-11-10-b device of lot number c2031596 involved in this complaint was not returned for evaluation.With the information provided, a document-based investigation was conducted.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 (ifu0056) states the following: ¿visually inspect with particular attention to kinks, bends and breaks.If an abnormality is detected that would prohibit proper working condition, do not use.Please notify cook for return authorization.¿ there is no evidence to suggest that the customer did not follow the instructions for use.Image review an image was not returned for evaluation.Root cause analysis a definitive root cause could not be determined.A possible root cause could be attributed to tortuous patient anatomy.It is possible that compression from a tight stricture and continued attempts to deploy may have resulted in a build up of pressure, subsequently leading to the trigger getting jammed, as a result the stent could not be deployed.Another possible root cause could be that the introducer of the device kinked during advancement due to a tortuous path, the pressure build-up of attempting to deploy with an introducer kink would have been felt through trigger resistance described by the customer and the stent would not be deployed.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 patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.
