Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A manufacturing record review was completed and no related nonconformances were found.No product was returned for inspection.Therefore, a returned product evaluation was not completed.The account was inquired on the procedure details.The response stated that the vessel had heavy calcium.Orbital atherectomy was performed.The procedure was able to be completed though it is unclear if the tip fragment is trapped in the calcium lesion.It is likely that the turnpike spiral was damaged during use.Based on information from the account and no returned product evaluation, the most likely root cause of the issue is undeterminable.
