Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The returned instrument was subjected to a detailed technical analysis
and the corresponding production documentation was reviewed to
establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be
the cause for the reported event.The technical investigation of the returned product revealed that both
balloon shoulders and both ends of the stent are slightly opened.The
stent is severely deformed at its proximal end and displaced by about 1
mm in distal direction.Microscopic inspection of the guidewire exit port
revealed that both the guidewire lumen and the inflation lumen are sliced
open longitudinally.During functional testing water was found leaking
from the guidewire exit port.The balloon could not be inflated.Review of the production documentation confirmed that the instrument
was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process
and final inspections.In addition to visual inspections each instrument is
tested for air tightness by means of a helium leak test.We can therefore
confirm that the instrument was delivered in a leak-proof condition.Based on the conducted investigations of the device being subject to
this complaint, no material or manufacturing related root cause could be
determined.The damage at the guidewire exit port was most likely
caused during the preparations for the intervention or during the
insertion phase.The displacement and severe deformation at the
proximal end of the stent most likely happened after the actual complaint
event (e.G.During withdrawal back into the guiding catheter).
