Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of an angiojet solent omni catheter.The pump assembly, effluent/supply line, shaft, tip, and spike line were visually examined for damage or any irregularities.The catheter shaft showed multiple bends and kinks.Functional testing was attempted; however, the device would not prime.During analysis at the severely kinked location at 63 cm from the tip, the hypotube was broken and completely separated.The device could not be functionally tested due to the extreme damage on the device.A pressure reading of 2.313 was reported before the console would stop the priming process and issue an under-pressure alarm.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage revealed no other damage or irregularities.The complaint was confirmed for under pressure issues related to a broken hypotube.
