The device was not returned for analysis.Production record and corrective and preventative actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed there is no indication of a lot specific issue.Based on the information received, the investigation determined that the reported issue appears to be related to operational context as it is likely handling and/or manipulation of the device during use resulted in the reported shaft kink.The kinked shaft likely caused a pinched/reduced inflation lumen causing the reported activation failure of the stent.Based on the 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.C3: 1 per year was entered; however, the frequency is 1 dose per implant.
