Device was returned for review.The covering is completely detached from the stent and one end of the stent has been expanded.The report states that the physician did not use the hemostasis tools provided by numed for the introduction of the device into the introducer.The instructions for use states "use of the tools supplied with stent is necessary to defeat the hemostasis valve without damaging the stent or covering." it is probably that the covering detached because the provided tools were not used as is specified in the instructions for use.
