Manufacturer Narrative
|
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 similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the deployed stent during removal causing the reported difficulty to remove.The device was able to be removed after several attempts, however; it should be noted the device was pulled negative for approximately 3-5 seconds and not the recommended 30 seconds instructed in the xience xpedition instructions for use which may have contributed the reported difficulties.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.Removed code 2017.Exemption number e2019001-permits numbering sequence to begin with 10000, to avoid duplication of report numbers due to process transition.There may be gaps in numbering for reports submitted during the transition period.Correction: device code 2017 removed.
