Results: the jet7 was fractured approximately 9.0 cm from the hub.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned jet7 confirmed that the catheter was fractured.Based on the reported event and damage location, this fracture was likely the result of a kink during advancement.If the jet7 is forcefully advanced against resistance, damage such as a kink and subsequent fracture may occur.Penumbra catheters are visually inspected during in-process inspection and during quality after manufacturing.The product lot number was not provided, therefore, the manufacturing records could not be reviewed.
