Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event was inconclusive because this investigation did not result in any additional findings and no sample was available for evaluation.No actions can be taken at this time since a root cause was not identified.A review of the device history record did not show any problems or conditions that would have contributed to the reported issue.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: directions for use: determine the proper stent length for the patient.This is generally calculated from the baseline pyelogram.Accurate measurements will optimize drainage efficiency and patient comfort.Insert the cystoscope then pass the guidewire through the scope until the tip is in the renal pelvis.Move the pigtail straightener over the proximal end (kidney coil end) of the ureteral stent allowing easier insertion onto the guidewire.Remove pigtail straightener once the stent is secure on the guidewire.Pass the stent over the guidewire through the cystoscope by using the push catheter for proper placement.Watch the distal end (bladder coil end) of the stent or the radiopaque, proximal end of the pusher.Stop advancing when the stent's distal end marker reaches the ureterovesical junction (uvj).(see below for proper placement directions on the multi-length ureteral stent.) withdraw the guidewire slowly.The stent will form a pigtail automatically.Carefully remove the push catheter.Correction: d.Udi format updated with available product information per gudid.H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
