A healthcare professional reported that during an angioplasty an enterprise2 4mmx23mm vascular reconstruction device (encr402312, 9368823) was impeded in the distal end of a non j&j microcatheter and could not pass through the microcatheter (mc).The doctor removed the stent and microcatheter from the patient and switched to second microcatheter to deliver the same stent, but the stent was with the same issue.The doctor only retracted the stent alone and switched a second new stent to complete the procedure.The second microcatheter was not replaced.There was no patient injury reported.A prowler select plus 150/5cm microcatheter (606s255x, lot unknown) was also used.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|

Manufacturer ref# (b)(4).Updated sections on this medwatch: b4, b5, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 and h11.Complaint conclusion: a healthcare professional reported that during an angioplasty an enterprise2 4mmx23mm vascular reconstruction device (encr402312, 9368823) was impeded in the distal end of a non-j&j microcatheter and could not pass through the microcatheter (mc).The doctor removed the stent and microcatheter from the patient and switched to second microcatheter to deliver the same stent, but the stent was with the same issue.The doctor only retracted the stent alone and switched a second new stent to complete the procedure.The second microcatheter was not replaced.There was no patient injury reported.A prowler select plus 150/5cm microcatheter (606s255x, lot unknown) was also used.Additional event information received on 24-jul-2025 confirmed that the second microcatheter was the prowler select plus 150/5cm.The device was returned to j&j medtech for further evaluation.A non-sterile 4mm x 23mm enterprise 2 was received contained in the decontamination pouch.Upon receiving the device, visual inspection was performed, and no appearance of damage was observed.All the components were received in good condition.Further inspection was performed under a microscope, the delivery wire was inspected along its entire length, and no damage was found.The stent was found still inside the introducer.The stent was observed in good condition, with no structural damage (i.E., no broken struts, no kinks).A functional test was performed.A lab sample of the prowler select plus was flushed using a lab syringe.The unit was then inserted into prowler select plus, and it advanced smoothly without any resistance or friction as the stent passed through.The stent was successfully expelled from the distal tip of the microcatheter.As the functional test was performed without issues, the impeded condition encountered during the procedure could not be confirmed.However, there may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the analysis.Lake region medical did review the device history records relative to the manufacturing, inspecting and packaging of the lot 9368823.The history records indicate this product was final inspection tested at lake region medical and was determined to be acceptable.As part of the j&j medtech 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 at this time.It should be noted that multiple factors could cause product failure.The instructions for use (ifu) do contain the following recommendations: the introducer must be properly engaged with the infusion catheter hub to enable stent introduction into the infusion catheter.Do not apply undue force if resistance is encountered at any point during stent manipulation.Withdraw the unit and advance to a new one.If resistance is felt while recapturing the stent, do not continue to recapture the device.Withdraw the infusion catheter slightly to unsheathe the stent (without exceeding the recapture limit), and then attempt to recapture the stent again.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.
