K163468 - us clearance number.Device evaluation: the evo-22-27-9-d device of lot number c1544017 involved in this complaint device was not returned for evaluation.With the information provided document based investigation was conducted.Images were provided which show that the red indicator on top of the handle has moved back the handle with no part of the stent deployed which indicates that either the flexor inside the handle, the shuttle to sheath tube joint or the shuttle cap may have broken.However, as the device has not been returned, it is not possible to determine which part is affected.Additional information was requested to clarify the following queries.The relevant information has not yet been provided, however, if it is received, the file will be updated accordingly.Did any part of the product snag/get caught with the stent when removing the delivery system? yes.Was the stent removed with the delivery system and how was the procedure complete (e.G.Using another device)? what was the position of the elevator? was it opened or closed? closed.Can it be confirmed if the elevator was closed when trying to deploy the stent? documents review including ifu review: prior to distribution all evo-22-27-9-d devices are subjected to a visual inspection and functional checks to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place at cirl.An nc code (gen-001bent/kinked/dent) was noted on the work order, however this was subsequently reworked and would not have attributed to this complaint issue.An nc code (pac-010 product damage) was noted on the work order, however this was subsequently scrapped and would not have attributed to this complaint issue.A review of the manufacturing records for evo-22-27-9-d device of lot number did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to this issue.There is no evidence to suggest that this issue affects the entire lot #c1544017; upon review of complaints this failure mode has not occurred previously with this lot #c1544017.The instructions for use ifu0053-9 which accompanies this device instructs the user to "visually inspect with particular attention to kinks, bends and breaks.If an abnormality is detected that would prohibit proper working condition, do not use".There is no evidence to suggest that the customer did not follow the instructions for use ifu0053-9.Root cause review: a definitive root cause could not be determined from the available information.The images received indicate that the flexor inside, the shuttle to sheath tube joint or the shuttle cap may have broken.The break could possibly be a result of compression from tortuous anatomy on the introducer causing a build-up of pressure and subsequently a break in an internal component.However, as the device was not returned for evaluation; the cause of this complaint could not be conclusively determined.Summary: according to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Additional information was requested to clarify if the additional device was placed during the same procedure or if an additional procedure had to be rescheduled.The relevant information has not yet been provided, however, if it is received, the file will be updated accordingly.Complaint is confirmed based on the based on the photos provided.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
