Manufacturer Narrative
|
Due to the automated mes system (manufacturing execution system), there are controls in the manufacturing process to ensure the product met specifications upon release.The reported event is covered in the device dfu.As well, the risk of the reported event is documented in the risk documentation and there are current controls to mitigate the risk of the as reported event.The subject device was not available; therefore, a visual inspection as well as a functional evaluation could not be performed.As per the surpass streamline dfu, intented use/indications for use: the surpass streamline flow diverter is indicated for use in the endovascular treatment of patients (18 years of age and older) with unruptured large or giant saccular wide-neck (neck width = 4 mm or dome-to-neck ratio < 2) or fusiform intracranial aneurysms in the internal carotid artery from the petrous segment to the terminus arising from a parent vessel with a diameter = 2.5 mm and = 5.3 mm.The available information indicates that the aneurysm was in the left internal carotid artery petro cavernous eroded bony canal w/i intradural compartment, 8 x 7 x 5 mm (aneurysm size <5mm-9.9mm).Based upon medical review assessment, the data reasonably suggest the clinical event is anticipated in nature and severity as per the dfu/risk documents.It cannot be definitively determined if the device failure to deploy the stent caused or contributed to the patient harm, therefore an assignable cause of undeterminable will be assigned to the reported patient death, patient vessel perforation and patient intracranial hemorrhage.As the device was not returned and a review and analysis of all available information fails to indicate an assignable cause or probable assignable cause for the reported stent failed/unable to deploy, an assignable cause of undeterminable will be assigned.
