Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that catheter entrapment and shaft break occurred.During preparation, a 4.00x24mm promus premier¿ drug-eluting stent was advanced over 014 thruway guide wire to treat the lesion.However, the stent delivery system (sds) became stuck on the wire.When the physician attempted to remove the sds from the guidewire, the stent catheter broke.The guidewire and the sds were removed together.The procedure was completed with another thruway guidewire and another promus premier¿ stent.No patient complications were reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Device evaluated by mfr: stent delivery system (sds) was returned for analysis.A visual examination of the stent found no issues on the 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 distal edge of the bumper tip of the device showed signs of damage.This type of damage is consistent with excessive force being applied to the delivery system.The balloon body was reviewed and no issues were noted with the overall balloon.The balloon wings were tightly wrapped and evenly folded and were not subjected to positive pressure.A visual and tactile examination found multiple kinks along the hypotube shaft.This type of damage is consistent with excessive force being applied to the delivery system.A visual and tactile examination of the outer and mid-shaft section found a break in the port exchange site.The outer extrusion section of the port site was stretched for 3.3cm before breaking.Inner extrusion damage 2mm distal of bi-component weld was also noted.There was evidence of medium inside the inner/outer lumen.The distal section of the delivery system was detached and returned loaded on guidewire.As part of the analysis, the 0.014'' guidewire was removed from the distal end of the device with no restriction noted.The bi-component bond showed no signs of damage or strain.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 root cause is not confirmed as there was no evidence of the alleged issue or any anomalies which could have contributed to the reported difficulty.(b)(4).
