Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported difficulty to insert was not tested based on device condition and guidewire not returned.The reported break was unable to be confirmed.There was additional damage noted to the inner member as it was stretched and wrinkled.A noted kink was found on the shaft likely cause by circumstances.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents reported from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties.It may be possible that the reported loose tip (nose cone) was inadvertently handled during preparation and affected the integrity of the inner member and as such the command 18 guide wire was not able to properly be loaded during insertion causing difficulty to insert; however, this could not be confirmed.The noted kink to the shaft is likely caused by case circumstances.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.Na.
