Manufacturer Narrative

A visual assessment was performed after disinfection.The working channel sleeve extended from the distal cap when received, confirming the complaint.The proximal end of the distal cap was aligned to the cap weld.There was evidence of the production bonding process and the application of heat to the outside of the catheter during manufacturing assembly, as seen in the working channel sleeve reflow/bond.A functional inspection was performed.The distal tip articulated without issue.A spybite was passed through the working channel without issue.The distal end of the catheter was removed to examine the working channel.The distal cap was removed from the catheter for examination.The distal end of the exposed working channel sleeve was tugged; it was not detached from the catheter.The catheter was cut open to expose the working channel sleeve.The catheter was pulled back to assess the adhesion of the working channel sleeve to the pebax; the last part of the proximal end of the working channel sleeve appeared to be attached to the pebax.The working channel sleeve did not fall out; the working channel sleeve was pulled out of the catheter.There was evidence of adhesion of the working channel sleeve to the inside of the catheter, as seen by the white area on the proximal end of the pebax and the working channel sleeve braid imprint throughout the pebax region.The complaint was consistent with the reported event of working channel sleeve protruding.Based on the investigation and the receipt condition/functionality.The complaint conclusion investigation code selected for the working channel sleeve protrusion issue is manufacturing process design.There is an investigation in place to address this issue.A dhr (device history record) review was performed and no deviation was found.
