Manufacturer Narrative

E1: (b)(6).Device eval by manufacturer: the device was not received for analysis; however, a tube approx.22.6 cm long was received for analysis.The piece of material received was whiteish in color, 22.6 cm long with what looked like one finished end and the other end appeared damaged with blood matter on it.The tube was hollow, and the outer diameter measured 0.0219.Based on the color of the tube in relation to the color of the ranger device catheter and loading tool, it does not appear to be part of the ranger device.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) testing found it to be most similar to nylon 12 polyamide.
