On (b)(6) 2019, the physician loaded a zephyr 5.5-lp endobronchial valve into a zephyr 5.5 dualmark endobronchial delivery catheter, which was then passed through a bronchoscope and deployed in the posterior segment of the patient's left upper lobe (lul).After deployment, the physician pulled the zephyr catheter out of the bronchoscope.He then passed the zephyr catheter back down without a zephyr valve loaded to measure the anterior segment of the lul.As the zephyr catheter exited the bronchoscope working channel, a sizing wing became detached and was visualized loose in the airway.The physician suctioned the sizing wing fragment through the bronchoscope and an airway inspection showed no remaining foreign bodies.On jan.3, 2020, the zephyr catheter was returned to pulmonx.At the time of this report, a product investigation is ongoing and a follow-up report will be submitted.
