Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device was not returned for analysis.Production record and corrective and preventive actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint handling database identified no other incidents from this lot.As there was no damage noted to the device during the inspection prior to use, it is possible that the distal sheath of the delivery system was entrapped or bent in the anatomy such that the ratchet was unable to properly/fully engage the stent resulting in the reported activation/deployment failure; however as the device was not returned for analysis this cannot be confirmed.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties cannot be determined.Based on the reported information and results of the complaint investigation there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
