One dragonfly optis imaging catheter was received for evaluation.The syringe was also returned.Functional testing was not possible due to the presence of dried contrast within the catheter sheath; however, dimensional inspection revealed the purge hole diameter met the specifications.There were no anomalies, ruptures, or damages noted to the returned catheter.It should be noted that dragonfly optis models have a purge hole exit located proximal on the sheath to the purge hole exit port, which varies from earlier model dragonfly catheters where the purged liquid exits via the guidewire exit port.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed.Based on the condition of the returned device and the information received, the cause of the reported leak and perforation remains unknown.
