Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Correction: this report is being sent to indicate the complaint event is not reportable.As reported, the stent had some sort of whitish film when they removed it from the sterilized packaging prior to use in an unknown procedure.Upon further review, the complaint was assessed under the risk of the stent being discolored due to the way the film caused the device to appear.Therefore, there is no evidence to suggest that the observed device failure, "the device was discolored" would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury if the failure were to recur.Furthermore, there is no evidence that the device caused or contributed to a serious injury, as no life-threatening or permanently impairing injury took place, nor was intervention taken as a result of the device failure which would be required to prevent permanent impairment or damage to the patient.As such, the event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death, serious injury, or reportable product malfunction.
