    (B)(4). EVALUATION SUMMARY: THE DEVICE WAS RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. FAILURE TO ADVANCE/CROSS THE LESION COULD NOT BE REPLICATED IN A TESTING ENVIRONMENT AS IT WAS BASED ON OPERATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES. SHAFT SEPARATION WAS CONFIRMED.

REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINT HISTORY OF THE REPORTED LOT DID NOT INDICATE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. BASED ON THE INFORMATION REVIEWED, THERE IS NO INDICATION OF A PRODUCT DEFICIENCY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE XIENCE PRIME EVEROLIMUS ELUTING CORONARY STENT SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE STATES: SHOULD ANY RESISTANCE BE FELT AT ANY TIME DURING EITHER LESION ACCESS OR REMOVAL OF THE DELIVERY SYSTEM POST-STENT IMPLANTATION, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHOULD BE REMOVED AS A SINGLE UNIT.
