Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing review: the lot number was provided and the lot device history records have been reviewed.The lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.This is the only complaint that has been reported for this corporate lot number to date.Investigation summary: the investigation is inconclusive for the reported hole in stent issue, as the device was not returned for evaluation.The definitive root cause for the reported hole in stent issue could not be determined based upon available information.The manufacturing documentation was reviewed and shows no anomalies with the manufacture of this lot to suggest a product issue.It is unknown if there were patient factors, handling or procedural techniques that contributed to the reported issue.Labeling review: the ifu for the lifestream product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: precautions: prior to device use, refer to the covered stent sizing table on the label and read the instructions for use.Do not use if the delivery system cannot be properly flushed.Potential adverse events: covered stent deformation / kink / fracture.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.Covered stent size selection: select a covered stent diameter that is approximately 5%-20% larger than the largest reference vessel diameter at the proximal or distal target site.Refer to the sizing table on the packaging label for appropriate selection of the covered stent diameter and length.Endovascular system preparation: carefully remove the selected device from the package.Inspect the covered stent for adherence to the balloon and centered placement in relation to the balloon marker bands.If the covered stent is not centered and/or does not firmly adhere to the balloon, do not use.Flush the delivery system guidewire lumen with sterile saline mixture until saline drops from the distal end of the endovascular system.Placement of two overlapped covered stents: in the event that two covered stents must be placed overlapped, place the distal covered stent first.Ensure approximately 10 mm overlap zone.(expiry date 05/2021).
