Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The device was returned for analysis.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 similar incidents from this lot.The reported kinked shaft and detachment of a device component were confirmed.The reported failure to advance and difficulty to remove were unable to be replicated in a testing environment as they are based on operational circumstances.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.It was reported that excessive force was used when trying to cross the lesion causing the reported shaft kink.The device was then removed but met resistance with the anatomy causing the reported difficulty to remove and subsequent detachment of a device component.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
