Visual and functional analysis was performed on the returned device.The device was returned fully intact and the handle was intact and had not been taken apart, so the reported handle taken apart was not confirmed.The reported physical resistance with the thumbwheel was confirmed.The stent was not returned as it was deployed.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 revealed no other similar complaints reported from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a definitive cause for the difficulties.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
