    D4 GTIN - CORRECTED. G4 PMA/510K - CORRECTED. DUE TO THE AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING EXECUTION SYSTEM (MES) SYSTEM THERE ARE CONTROLS IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS TO ENSURE THE PRODUCT MET SPECIFICATIONS UPON RELEASE. VISUAL AND FUNCTIONAL INSPECTIONS WERE NOT PERFORMED DUE TO THE DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED. THE REPORTED EVENT IS COVERED IN THE DEVICE DIRECTIONS FOR USE (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 REPORTED COMPLAINT COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED, AND IT COULD NOT BE DEFINITIVELY DETERMINED IF THE DEVICE FAILED TO MEET SPECIFICATIONS BECAUSE THE PRODUCT WAS NOT RETURNED. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE CUSTOMER INDICATED THE FLOW DIVERTER STENT DID NOT OPEN DESPITE AGGRESSIVE ANGIOPLASTY WITH THE BALLOON CENTER AROUND THE AREA OF STENOSIS FOR THE FIRST ANGIOPLASTY AND WITH THE TIP OF THE BALLOON ACROSS THE STENOSIS FOR THE SECOND ANGIOPLASTY. AFTER BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY X2 THE AREA OF STENOSIS IS AGAIN DOWN TO 1 MM AND THERE IS DELAYED PASSAGE OF CONTRAST BUT NO EVIDENCE FOR RUPTURE. REGULAR BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE FLOW DIVERTER EVEN THOUGH THE BALLOON WAS INFLATED TO 2 MM IN DIAMETER. THE FLOW DIVERTER ONLY OPENED AFTER A THIRD ANGIOPLASTY WITH MORE PRESSURE, BUT THIS ATTEMPT ALSO RUPTURED THE ARTERY AND RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF THE PATIENT. THE FLOW DIVERTER IS NOW OPEN AT THE PREVIOUS AREA OF STENOSIS. ALL ANGIOPLASTIES WERE CARRIED OUT WITH THE BALLOON INSIDE THE FLOW DIVERTER. SO, THE DEVICE COULD ONLY BE OPENED WITH EXTREME PRESSURES". THE PATIENT RECEIVED DUAL ANTI-PLATELET AGENTS PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE, THE DEVICE WAS PREPARED AS PER DFU, A MICROCATHETER WAS USED TO ADVANCE THE FLOW DIVERTER, CONTINUOUS FLUSH WAS MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT THE PROCEDURE, THE PATIENT'S ANATOMY WAS SOMEWHAT TORTUOUS, THE PERCENTAGE STENOSIS PRESENT WAS 51-75%. ACCORDING TO THE PHYSICIAN, THE ADVERSE EVENT WAS RELATED TO ANGIOPLASTY-ANGIOPLASTY INSIDE EVOLVE AND CAUSED THE RUPTURE. THE EVOLVE WAS STILL NOT OPEN AND FLOW BEYOND DEVICE WAS LIMITED WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A STROKE. IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT ANATOMICAL OR PROCEDURAL FACTORS ENCOUNTERED DURING THE PROCEDURE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED EVENT. WHILE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR THE REPORTED ISSUE, BECAUSE REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION FAILED TO IDENTIFY A DEFINITIVE CAUSE, A CAUSE OF UNDETERMINABLE WAS ASSIGNED TO THE REPORTED EVENTS ¿STENT FAILED/UNABLE TO OPEN¿ AND ¿STENT IMPROPERLY DEPLOYED'. AN ASSIGNABLE CAUSE OF ANTICIPATED PROCEDURAL COMPLICATION WILL BE ASSIGNED TO THE REPORTED EVENTS: ¿PATIENT DEATH¿, ¿PATIENT VESSEL DISSECTION¿ AND ¿PATIENT STROKE¿ AS A PRODUCT RELATED ROOT CAUSE DOES NOT APPLY AND THE ISSUE IS DUE TO A KNOWN PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT OF THE PROCEDURE AND/OR PATIENT CONDITION NOTED WITH THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE, PRODUCT LABELING AND/OR RISK DOCUMENTATION FILES.
