An orsiro drug-eluting stent system was chosen to treat a calcified lesion in a tortuous lad.When crossing a previously implanted stent, device could not be advanced.Then a guidezilla was used and the stent could be advanced.After removal it was detected that the stent was still on the system but distally displaced.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The returned product was subjected to a technical analysis and the corresponding production documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for this event.The technical investigation of the returned device revealed that the stent is slightly deformed and displaced in proximal direction.Microscopic analysis of the balloon surface revealed clear visible stent imprints, indicating that the stent was properly crimped in between the two radiopaque markers at the time of delivery.Review of the manufacturing history of the product detailed above did not reveal any non-conformity.During final inspection, every stent system undergoes visual inspection to ensure correct stent embedding and homogeneous crimping of the stent.Further, the stent outer diameter is verified to 100 percent and the stent retention force of a defined amount of samples is tested from every lot.The device in question was manufactured according to specifications and successfully passed all inprocess controls as well as the final inspection.Based on the conducted investigations of the device being subject to this complaint, no material or manufacturing related root cause was determined.The root cause is most likely related to external factors during the procedure (i.E.Advancing the stent system through a previously implanted stent).It should be noted that the ifu warns against reinsertion of the device.
