The device was returned and investigated.The returned device analysis did not confirm the reported missing component; however, the reported unstable red cap could not be tested as the delivery catheter (dc) handle top flush port was observed to be detached/broken and was returned in the packaging tray.A review of the lot history record revealed 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 similar complaints reported from this lot.Based on the overall information, the reported material separation and unstable cap appears to be due to the observed detached/broken dc handle flush port.The observed detached/broken delivery catheter handle flush port appears to be related to a potential product issue.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.
