Breakage of a smart control stent was confirmed during or after flushing prior to use. it was replaced with a new smart control stent of a different size to complete the procedure. the procedure finished successfully.There was no reported patient injury. the patient¿s information was unknown.The target lesion was unknown.The patient¿s vessel level of tortuousness and calcification was unknown.The rate of stenosis was unknown. additional information was received that the temperature exposure indicator on the pouch checked to confirm that the black dotted pattern with a grey background is clearly visible. the product was stored, handled, inspected and prepped according to the instructions for use. there was nothing unusual noted about the stent delivery system prior to use. there was no difficulty prepping the device. according to the sales rep, the flushing port was damaged. additional procedural details were requested but are unknown.The product was returned for analysis.A non-sterile unit of smart control, iliac 7 x 40 mm stent delivery system was returned.Per visual analysis the device was returned with the locking pin.A kink was noted at 4 cm from the id band.No another damages were noted.Per microscopic analysis the stent was noted positioned in the original place.Per functional analysis the locking pin was removed and the stent was deployed without difficulty and no damages were noted on it.A device history record (dhr) review of lot 17364557 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿stent delivery system (sds)-ses/ cracked¿ was not confirmed by analysis of the returned device as functional analysis was performed successfully.The exact cause of the reported event could not be determined.The kink found during analysis indicates a possible procedural factor involved in the reported event even though the information received was very limited.According to the instructions for use ¿after careful inspection of the pouch looking for damage to the sterile barrier, carefully peel open the pouch and extract the stent delivery system from the tray.Examine the device for any damage.If it is suspected that the sterility or performance of the device has been compromised, the device should not be used.Evaluate the distal end of the catheter to ensure that the stent is contained within the outer sheath.Do not use if the stent is partially deployed.Advance the device over the guidewire through the hemostatic valve and sheath introducer.Note: if resistance is met during delivery system introduction, the system should be withdrawn and another system should be used.¿ the device performed as intended and therefore the reported event and the dhr could not be related to the manufacturing process; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time at this time.(b)(4).
