Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.(b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.It should be noted that the xience pro x eluting coronary stent system instructions for use (ifu) states: an unexpanded stent may be retracted into the guiding catheter one time only.An unexpanded stent should not be reintroduced into the artery once it has been pulled back into the guiding catheter.Subsequent movement in and out through the distal end of the guiding catheter should not be performed, as the stent may be damaged when retracting the undeployed stent back into the guiding catheter.In this case, the ifu deviation related to reinserting the sds does not appear to have contributed to the reported complaint.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.The xience prox device is currently not commercially available in the us; however, it is similar to a device sold in the us.

Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a heavily calcified, chronic total occlusion of the mid right coronary artery.Pre-dilatation was performed with an unspecified 2.5 x 15 mm balloon catheter.An attempt was then made to advance a 3.0 x 38 mm xience prox stent delivery system (sds); however, it became stuck with the anatomy.Therefore, the device was removed independently, and further dilatation was performed with a 2.5 x 15 mm non-abbott balloon catheter which became broken.A 3.0 x 18 mm xience prox sds was then advanced and failed to cross the lesion due to the anatomy.Dilatation was then performed several times with unspecified non-compliant balloon catheters (2.5 x 15 mm, 3.0 x 15 mm and 3.0 x 12 mm).However, all balloons ruptured at 22 atmospheres (atm).Therefore, rotablation was performed and the same 3.0 x 38 mm xience prox sds was then successfully implanted in the lesion at 14 atm.Post-dilatation was performed to successfully complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
