Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
After further review of additional information received updated accordingly.During an axillary vein stenting procedure, the smart control 8x40 stent was being deployed for stenosis.However, upon deployment the stent jumped forward beyond the stenosis.Multiple attempts were made without success to obtain additional information.The device was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 17732117 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The phr review does not suggest that the event reported by the customer could be related to the manufacturing process.The reported ¿stent delivery system (sds)-ses~deployment difficulty - inaccurate placement¿ could be not confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis and procedural films were not received.Based on the limited information available for review, procedural and handling factors may have contributed to the reported event.The exact cause could not be determined.Per the instructions for use (ifu), which is not intended as a mitigation, ¿advance the stent delivery system past the lesion site.Pull back the stent delivery system until the radiopaque stent markers (leading and trailing ends) move in position so that they are proximal and distal to the target lesion.Ensure the device outside the patient remains flat and straight.Caution: slack in the catheter shaft, either outside or inside the patient, may result in deploying the stent beyond the target lesion site.¿ neither the phr nor the limited information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.
