It was reported that free air was observed after 1 week from the stent implantation.The stent is not removed from the patient.The surgeon suspected that the free air might have occurred due to the perforation.The air was to be reduced, so the patient was treated medication and the surgeon decided that it needs the follow-up instead of additional surgical intervention.It was successfully passed in the criteria of manufacturing and inspection as a result of confirmation of device history record for the relevant product.Perforation can be occurred by other company's device as well as ours.It is affected by patient's lesion status, peristalsis of organs, and drug use in general.It is hard to find out exact root cause for this complaint because the suspected device was not returned and it is difficult to reconstruct the situation at the time of procedure.The suspected device was not removed from the patient, so it is difficult to judge perforation caused by device malfunction.It is considered that perforation was occurred due to complexity of patient's lesion status and stent implantation.This suspected device is not registered in the us but we will continuously monitor the same or similar customer complaints through accurate analyses.
