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.Investigation summary: the investigation is confirmed for the reported dislodgment issue.The stent was not present on the returned device and the balloon had not been inflated.The stent was found lodged within the returned sheath during evaluation.The definitive root cause for the reported dislodgment 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 procedural or handling techniques contributed to the reported event.Labeling review: the ifu for the lifestream product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: precautions ¿ the device should only be used by physicians who are trained in endovascular procedures and are familiar with the complications, side effects and hazards of peripheral vascular interventions.¿ prior to device use, refer to the covered stent sizing table on the label and read the instructions for use.¿ crossing the implant with catheters or other adjunct devices can result in covered stent dislodgement or damage.Potential patient/device adverse effects that may occur include, but are not limited to, the following: ¿ covered stent dislodgement from balloon during tracking procedure ¿ covered stent misplacement during placement procedure directions for use: 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.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 air evacuation ¿ a 20 cc or smaller luer-lock syringe with a minimum of 5 cc¿s sterile saline mixture is recommended for use for aspirating this device.¿ with the distal balloon tip pointing down and positioned below the level of the syringe, pull negative pressure until all air is expelled.¿ induce a negative pressure to remove any air from the balloon and inflation lumen.Repeat until all air is expelled.10.Carefully release to neutral.Allow the inflation lumen to fill with the diluted contrast medium and maintain a neutral pressure.Important: do not apply positive pressure to the balloon.¿ attach the prefilled inflation device to the inflation lumen of the catheter hub, ensuring no air bubbles remain at the catheter connection.¿ verify that the covered stent is still centered between the two radiopaque markers on the balloon catheter.Introduction of the endovascular system and placement of the covered stent ¿ advance the endovascular system over the guidewire into the introducer sheath.(expiry date 07/2021).
