Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of a fetch 2 aspiration device.The syringe and extension line that is shipped with the device was not returned by the customer.Visual inspection of the device revealed a kink approximately 17cm from the strain relief.Visual and tactile analysis noted one kink on the catheter shaft.Inside diameter of proximal of the shaft was inspected using a.045 gauge pin and the result was that proximal shaft was in specification.The catheter was not functionally tested due to the damage on the catheter shaft.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The most probable root cause is considered handling damage as the event occurred without direct patient contact.(b)(4).
