Additional Manufacturer Narrative
2 x zso-7-6 of lot #: c1602638 was returned to cook (b)(4) for evaluation open in its original packaging.The device involved in the complaint was evaluated in the laboratory on 13th september 2019.A kink and wire guide perforation were observed on device 1 on the 2nd & 5th portholes at the tapered end.A 0.035-inch wireguide would not pass the kinks.A kink and wire guide perforation were observed on device 2 on the 5th portholes at the tapered end.A 0.035-inch wireguide would not pass the kinks.Prior to distribution all zso-7-6 are subjected to visual and functional checks to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place in cook (b)(4).A review of the manufacturing records for zso-7-6 of lot number c1602638 did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to this complaint issue.The review of relevant manufacturing records, confirms the failure mode has not previously occurred with the current lot number.Based on the information available to date, there is no evidence to suggest that there are any manufacturing issues associated with lot number c1602638 it should be noted that the instructions for use (ifu0045-6) states the following: ¿visually inspect with particular attention to kinks, bends and breaks.If any abnormality is detected that would prohibit proper working condition, do not use.¿ ¿care must be exercised when straightening the pigtail curls in order to avoid kinking or breaking the stent.¿ a definitive root cause could not be determined as the circumstances of use cannot be replicated in the laboratory.A possible root cause could be attributed to the use of a non-recommended wire guide with the device.It may be noted the device label indicates a 0.035¿ wire guide for use with this device and all simulated use testing to date has been completed using a 0.035¿ wire guide.As the smaller diameter 0.025¿ wire guide occupies less space in the lumen of the pigtail stent it is likely that the extent of the curvature of the pigtail will be greater when a 0.025¿ wire guide is used.As per additional information received a 0.025" wire guide was used.Complaint is confirmed as the failure was verified in the laboratory.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence as there was no patient contact.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
