Patient Sequence No: 1, Text Type: N, H10


[8566750] Only the stent body was returned for analysis. A visual evaluation of the returned device was conducted, and revealed that the stent had a strong yellow discoloration. The elastic material was not provided and the stent body was hard. The fibers at the distal end of the stent were destroyed, and a hole was observed in the inner part of the stent, most likely due to excessive force used during removal. Based on the condition of the returned device, the root cause can not be definitively determined; however the damage to the stent may be due to anatomical factors. A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed; no anomalies were noted that could be related to this complaint. A labeling review was performed, and from the information available this device was used per the directions for use (dfu) / product label.
