Manufacturer Narrative

A visual analysis of the returned device found that the coil is detached proximal to the distal stop.The rest of the coil is burnt and broken is several places but still attached to the device by the blue/green heat shrink.There are burn marks at the breaks.The blue sheath is detached and was not returned.Review and analysis of all available information indicates that there was an evidence of scorching which was most likely caused by the laser during the procedure.Therefore, the most probable root cause is "caused by other device" since the investigation indicates another device/drug/subsequent procedure caused the complaint event.The device history record (dhr) review found the device met all manufacturing specifications.A search of the complaint database revealed that no similar complaints exist for the specified lot.A labeling review was performed and no anomaly was found.
