Event or Problem Description

It was reported that partial deployment occurred.The 100% stenosed target lesion was located in the highly calcified left popliteal and superficial femoral artery.A 45cm 6f non bsc guiding sheath and a 300cm v-18 guidewire were inserted and advanced into position.Pre-dilation was performed using a 4mmx150mm sterling balloon.The 6x200x130mm innova¿ stent was introduced via a contralateral approach then advanced and deployment was initiated via the deployment thumbwheel.Stent deployment stopped after 30mm of the stent was unsheathed.The thumbwheel broke and the pull grip was unable to unsheathe the stent.The stent was then pulled back into the guiding sheath, the stent stretched and the devices were removed together.A.035mm stiff guidewire was then advanced and the procedure was completed with another 6x200x130mm innova¿ stent.No patient complications were reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by manufacturer: returned product consisted of an innova self-expanding stent delivery system (sds) stuck in an introducer sheath.The outer shaft and the remainder of the device were checked for damage.Visual examination showed a kink at the nosecone.The stent was returned in the device and partially deployed outside of the distal end of the introducer sheath as well as the tip of the device.The stent showed damage.The thumbwheel was loose.The pull handle was loose in the handle which is an indication of internal handle damage.The handle was opened to inspect for further damage.It was noticed that the mid-shaft had detached/broke at the retainer clip.No damage was noticed to the proximal inner or the inner liner.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.The investigation conclusion is caused by other device as another device/drug/subsequent procedure caused the complaint event.The innova dfu states that a stiff 0.035 in guidewire is strongly recommended for deployment of the stent, especially for tortuous anatomy and contralateral approaches.Use of undersized guidewires may lead to insufficient support of the device which can compromise stent delivery (b)(4).
