Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by manufacturer; returned product consisted of an incomplete runway guide catheter.The device was bloody.Analysis of the shaft and hub included microscopic and visual inspection.Inspection revealed only 17.6 cm of the shaft was returned, with a kink 33 mm from the strain relief.The distal end of the broken edge was frayed and twisted.Inspection of rest of the device did not find any other damage or defect.The reported kink and broken device was confirmed, however; the reported device jamming could not be confirmed as clinical circumstances could not be replicated.
