Additional Manufacturer Narrative
It was reported that the stent did not deploy.As a result of analysis of returned device, the outer sheath was detached and stent was loaded.There was curve on the stent loaded part of the outer sheath, and deployment was tried without pressure, but failed.It was manually deployed by hand, holding the tip, and pulled out by force.In the inner sheath, notable kinking was not observed.Resistance can be felt due to pressure generated by patient's lesion during deployment.It can cause deployment failure if deployment is tried by force in this situation since outer sheath can be stretched and detached.However, it is hard to identify the exact root cause since it is hard to reconstruct the situation at the time of procedure.Based on the deployment failure under no pressure, detached outer sheath and curve on the stent loaded part, it is considered that delivery system was pressured due to patient's lesion during the procedure and deployment was tried in that situation.It was hard to deploy due to pressure/curved sheath, in which concentrated the force causing strong resistance and the outer sheath was detached in the end, resulting in deployment failure.This complaint is assumed that it was a malfunction of the device due to the pressure of the patient's lesion, there will be continued monitoring of the same or similar customer complaints.
