Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Block e1: (b)(6).Block h6: device code a0401 captures the reportable event of stent shaft break.Block h11: investigation analysis: upon receipt at our quality assurance laboratory, this percuflex plus device underwent a thorough analysis.Visual inspection of the device identified that the stent shaft was detached.A review of the device history record (dhr) indicated that the device met all material, assembly, and product specifications at the time of release to distribution.Based on the information available and analysis results, it is possible to conclude that this issue could be caused by operational factors.The retrieval line may be removed before placement at the physician's discretion.If the retrieval line gets entangled in the stent coil and is removed using excess force, the stent can get detached/separated during the preparation affecting the performance of the device.A conclusion code of adverse event related to procedure was assigned to this investigation.
