H11: manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the first complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.Therefore, the lot number for the device was not provided, a review of the device history records could not be performed.Investigation summary: the lifestream device was not returned for evaluation.Photos or video files were not provided for review.Therefore, the result of the investigation is inconclusive for the reported wet packaging issue.The root cause for the reported wet packaging issue could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications.Labeling review: the instructions for use for this lifestream device was reviewed and the following sections are applicable.B indication for use: the lifestream balloon expandable vascular covered stent is indicated for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in common and external iliac arteries with reference vessel diameters between 4.5 mm and 12.0 mm, and lesion lengths up to 100 mm.C contraindications: the lifestream balloon expandable vascular covered stent is contraindicated for use in: patients with uncorrected bleeding disorders.Patients who cannot receive recommended antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation therapy.Patients who are judged to have a lesion that prevents full expansion of the implant.Lesions in which the lumen diameter post balloon angioplasty is insufficient for the passage of the endovascular system.Lesion locations subject to external compression.D warnings: the lifestream balloon expandable vascular covered stent is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only.Do not resterilize and/or reuse the device.Reuse, resterilization, reprocessing and/or repackaging may create a risk of patient or user infection, compromise the structural integrity and/or essential material and design characteristics of the device, which may lead to device failure, and/or injury, illness or death of the patient.Do not use if packaging/pouch is damaged.Use the device prior to the use by date specified on the package.E precautions: the device should only be used by physicians who are trained in endovascular procedures and are familiar with the complications, side effects and hazards of peripheral vascular interventions.Prior to device use, refer to the covered stent sizing table on the label and read the instructions for use.Store in a cool and dry place.Keep away from sunlight.J storage store in a cool, dry place.Keep away from sunlight.Use the device prior to the use by date specified on the package.M directions for use site access and preparation 1.Using standard techniques access the artery and place an introducer sheath or guiding catheter of appropriate inner diameter and a 0.035" (0.89 mm) guidewire across the target lesion.2.Perform diagnostic angiography to confirm site of implantation and measure the reference vessel diameter and lesion length.Covered stent size selection: 3.Select a covered stent diameter that is approximately 5% - 20% larger than the largest reference vessel diameter at the proximal or distal target site.Refer to the sizing table on the packaging label for appropriate selection of the covered stent diameter and length.Endovascular system preparation 4.Carefully remove the selected device from the package.Remove the covered stent guard, being cautious not to grasp the covered stent with the guard.5.Inspect the covered stent for adherence to the balloon and centered placement in relation to the balloon marker bands.If the covered stent is not centered and/ or does not firmly adhere to the balloon, do not use.6.Flush the delivery system guidewire lumen with sterile saline mixture until saline drops from the distal end of the endovascular system.Air evacuation 7.A 20 cc or smaller luer lock syringe with a minimum of 5 cc's sterile saline mixture is recommended for use for aspirating this device.8.With the distal balloon tip pointing down and positioned below the level of the syringe, pull negative pressure until all air is expelled.9.Induce a negative pressure to remove any air from the balloon and inflation lumen.Repeat until all air is expelled.10.Carefully release to neutral.Allow the inflation lumen to fill with the diluted contrast medium and maintain a neutral pressure.Important: do not apply positive pressure to the balloon.11.Attach the prefilled inflation device to the inflation lumen of the catheter hub, ensuring no air bubbles remain at the catheter connection.12.Verify that the covered stent is still centered between the two radiopaque markers on the balloon catheter.Introduction of the endovascular system and placement of the covered stent 13.Advance the endovascular system over the guidewire into the introducer sheath.G3, h6 (method, result, conclusion) section a through f: the information provide 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.
