(b)(4).Evaluation summary: visual, dimensional and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The difficult to position with the guiding catheter and stent damage were confirmed.The difficulty removing the stent delivery system could not be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.The xience prox is currently not commercially available in the us; however, it is similar to a device sold in the us.
