Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing site evaluation: the device was not returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.Additionally, no on-site evaluation of the unit was performed and no parts were returned for failure analysis.Therefore, the investigation was not able to confirm a device issue that could be associated with the reported event.An investigation of the device manufacturing records was not able to be conducted by the manufacturer as the lot # of the device in question was not known.However, all device history records (dhr) are reviewed and released according to documented procedures and a device is not released if it does not meet requirements or is nonconforming.A definitive conclusion regarding the complaint incident cannot be reached without a physical examination of the complaint device.

Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing site evaluation: the device was returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.A visual examination of the device was performed which revealed that the stylet was not connected to the tubing.Reportedly, the stylet was returned inside the packaging with a label that stated "single use," which was assumed to reference the silicon tubing.The returned tubing was the incorrect size and was found to be thinner and more delicate than the device tubing.The root cause of the reported event was determined to be user error.
