Device evaluation: 1 x oacl-10-7 of unknown lot was not returned to cirl for evaluation.As the device was not returned as per information on track wise a document based write up will be conducted.Three attempts were made to evaluate if the device was to be returned and to confirm the rpn and lot number of the device.As per information provided ¿he found there was no stent pre-loaded, so he changed another one then it's okay¿.Based on this information for this investigation the rpn of oacl-10-7 will be used as this was the initial device mentioned in the procedure, but the lot number cannot be confirmed.This file deals with the user error for the placement of the 2nd device in the patient.This file is related to another complaint which captures the missing stent.Document review including ifu review: prior to distribution oacl-10-7 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.A review of the manufacturing records for oacl-10-7 of lot number c1645993 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 c1645993.It should be noted that the instructions for use (ifu0096-1) states the following: ¿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.¿ based on the limited information provided its unclear if the resistance experienced was for the first or second device, as it relates to a stent and no stent was present with the first device it will be concluded that this was the 2nd device.Three attempts were made to obtain additional information on this complaint and to clarify the information provided but could not be obtained.It was noted as per information provided under the related investigation that an incorrect wire guide was used in the procedure and that that the stent position was not verified, it was also noted in the information provided for this investigation that both the wire guide and the device were not inspected for damage before use.This file will deal with the user error for the 2nd placed device.Root cause review: a definitive root cause can be attributed to user error with 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.From the information provided, a 0.025¿ wireguide was used however instead of a 0.035¿ wireguide which is recommended as per the product label; it is possible that this negatively affected the ability to pass the stricture as a 0.025¿ wireguide would not offer as much support as a larger 0.035¿ wireguide.Summary: complaint is confirmed based on customer testimony.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
