Event Description
|
It was reported that stent dislodgment occurred.The target lesion was located in the left anterior descending (lad) artery.A 3.00 x 24 synergy ii drug-eluting stent was deployed to treat the lesion.However, when the physician went to post-dilate, it was realized that the stent was not implanted.Intravascular ultrasound (ivus) was performed and it was confirmed that the stent was not implanted and could not be seen anywhere inside the patient's body.The procedure was completed with another synergy stent.The physician suspects the stent was not on the delivery system when the device was inserted into the patient.No patient complications were reported and the patient's status was fine.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr., eval summary attached, method codes, result codes, conclusion codes updated.Device evaluated by mfr: the stent delivery system (sds) was returned for analysis.A review of the manufacturing data was performed and the maximum crimped stent profile at the time of manufacture was within the specification.This data verifies that the stent was crimped on the balloon catheter during the manufacturing process.The stent had detached from the sds and was not returned for analysis.100% final inspection is carried out before sterile packaging.The stent most likely went missing at the customer¿s facility.Stent detachment most likely occurred due to handling during unpacking and/or preparation.A visual examination of the bumper tip showed no signs of damage.The balloon body was reviewed and no issues were noted with the overall balloon.The balloon wings were relaxed from their original folded position appearing as if positive pressure and negative pressure was applied.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 no issues with the shaft polymer extrusion.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 most probable root cause is considered handling damage as the event occurred without direct patient contact.(b)(4).
