The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to the reported event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other complaints from the lot.All available information was investigated, and the reported material separation (flush port break) appears to be related to user related circumstances as the user¿s hand hit the steerable guide catheter (sgc) side flush port and the side flush port broke off from the device.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
