The complaint stent was returned in a biohazard bag.There is blood on the covering and three adhesive spots are detached.One end of the stent has been flattened and the zigs at this end of the stent are overlapped.This was likely the result of removing a partially crimped stent from the balloon.Four adhesive spots are visible on the covering.The complaint is confirmed.The root cause of the complaint cannot be determined.All covered cp stents are inspected for proper covering attachment in final inspection.A sample from each lot is tested for covering attachment strength.The sample from this lot of stents had a covering attachment strength of 2.79lbs, which is well above the minimum specification.There is a warning in the ifu that states: "excessive handling and manipulation of the covering while crimping the stent may cause the covering to tear off of the stent.".
