It was reported, via a healthcare professional, that an enterprise2 4mmx30mm no tip (enc403000/ 8994889) was used for a vascular stent placement procedure.During the procedure, the user reported resistance/friction with no loss of microcatheter cerebral target position and premature detachment at an unintentional location (deployed beyond the lesion).The physician was required to deploy a second enterprise stent to fully cover the target lesion.No patient harm was reported.No significant surgical delay was reported.The device remains implanted for continued use, thus, will not be returned for further analysis.The event was initially reported as such, ¿the doctor tried to deploy enterprise 4x30 in a stenotic segment in pca.While advancing it through the prowler select plus, the operator faced resistance to advance the stent, especially at the distal end of the catheter.After some time, the dr tried to recapture the stent inside the sheath but found out that the stent has been deployed beyond the lesion.The dr took another stent and deployed another enterprise 4x30 at the site of the lesion and finished the procedure.Since the first stent has already been deployed inside the patient.There will not be a complaint stent to be sent back for analysis.¿ no further information was made available at the time of this review.

Manufacturer ref#: (b)(4).Information regarding patient weight, height, medical history, race, and ethnicity was not reported.The device remains implanted; therefore, no further investigation can be performed.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.Resistance/friction with no loss of microcatheter cerebral target position and premature detachment are known potential complications associated with the enterprise2 vascular reconstruction device.Interference or friction between devices is a known occurrence.Removal and exchange of devices is common routine practice in endovascular procedures.If resistance is encountered, the system being inserted should be withdrawn as a unit to prevent injury.In this case it is done without loss of intracranial target position.This is a common practice during procedures and is recommended in product ifu¿s.Since the vast majority of diagnostic and interventional angiographic procedures utilize multiple device exchanges, an increased potential for patient injury is remote.However, premature detachment of the enterprise2 stent does present potential for patient harm; if the stent was prematurely deployed in the patient (in an unintended site), it may lead to damage of healthy intima, possible side branch occlusion, ischemia, infarct and/or the need for additional intervention.In this case, no patient harm was reported.However, the physician was required to deploy a second stent to fully cover the target lesion and preclude patient complications.Based on this required surgical intervention, this event does meet us fda reporting criteria under 21 cfr 803 with a classification of ¿serious injury.¿ the file will be re-reviewed if additional information is received at a later date.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.This report is being submitted pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803 (and/or part 4, as applicable).This report may be based on information which has not been investigated or verified prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by cerenovus, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the product, cerenovus, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial report, a follow-up report will be filed as appropriate.
