Manufacturing review: the production history for the device was reviewed and no anomalies were identified.The lot met all test release criteria.Nothing was found to indicate a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: the investigation is inconclusive for the reported device incompatibility issue, as the device was not returned for evaluation.The definitive root cause for the reported issue could not be determined based upon available information.It is unknown whether handling or procedural techniques contributed to the reported event.The manufacturing documentation was reviewed and shows no anomalies with the manufacture of this lot to suggest a product issue.It is unlikely that the reported issue is manufacturing related as a 100% guidewire check is performed during catheter production.Labeling review: the ifu for the lifestream product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: endovascular system ¿the covered stent is supplied pre-mounted on an over-the-wire delivery system with a non-compliant balloon.¿two radiopaque markers (a and b) on the balloon shaft indicate the length of the balloon and the ends of the covered stent and aid in accurate covered stent deployment.The proximal portion of the endovascular system includes an inflation female luer lock hub and a guidewire female luer-lock hub.¿ the lifestream¿ balloon expandable vascular covered stent endovascular system is available in catheter lengths of 80 cm and 135 cm and it is compatible with 0.035" (0.89 mm) guidewires.Warnings ¿ should excessive resistance be felt at any time during the insertion process, do not force passage.Materials required for the lifestream¿ balloon expandable vascular covered stent procedure ¿ 0.035" (0.89 mm) guidewire with a length at least twice as long as the endovascular system site access and preparation ¿ using standard techniques access the artery and place an introducer sheath or guiding catheter of appropriate inner diameter and a 0.035" (0.89 mm) guidewire across the target lesion.¿ perform diagnostic angiography to confirm site of implantation and measure the reference vessel diameter and lesion length.
