Sterility of device is compromised due to a sterile barrier breach
Stent Graft Systems built with specific batches of taper tip assemblies have the potential for the taper tip to detach from the delivery system. Detachment of the taper tip during the implant procedure may lead to a secondary intervention to attempt to remove the taper tip, either by endovascular retrieval or surgical conversion. There is also potential that the taper tip is intentionally left behind in the patient, at the physician's discretion, if not easily removable.
There is a potential for the outer Tyvek lid to de-bond from the sealed package.
