Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was returned for analysis, the reported material separation was confirmed.The reported difficult to advance and to remove were not able to be confirmed due to returned device condition.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the guide wire as it was reportedly not properly lubricated during advancement causing the reported difficulty to advance.Device removal was attempted; however, the guide wire once again interacted with the device causing the reported difficulty to remove and subsequent material separation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.Na.
