Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: promus premier, us, mr, 2.75 x 24mm stent delivery system (sds) was returned.A visual examination of the crimped stent found no issues with the crimped stent.There were no signs of damage; stretching or lifting of the stent struts.The stent showed no signs of movement and was set equidistant between the proximal and distal markerbands.The stent od (outer diameter) of the stent was measured and was within the maximum crimped stent specification indicating that there were no issues with the crimp stent profile.A visual and tactile examination found a hypotube break 263mm from the distal tip and multiple hypotube kinks along the full catheter length.A visual and tactile examination found multiple inner/outer kinks along the extrusion.This type of damage may have been caused by excessive forces exerted during withdrawal of the device.The bi-component bond showed no signs of damage or strain.A visual and tactile examination found no damage to the tip.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The most probable root cause is operational context as device performance was limited due to anatomical procedural factors.(b)(4).
