Results: the jet7 was fractured approximately 6.0 cm from the hub.The device was ovalized approximately 9.0 cm from the hub.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned jet7 revealed a proximal fracture.If the proximal end of the device is forcefully manipulated during use, damage such as a kink and subsequent fracture may occur.This damage likely contributed to the contrast leaking during the procedure.Further evaluation of the device revealed an ovalization.This damage was likely incidental to the complaint.Penumbra catheters are visually inspected during in-process inspection and during quality inspection after manufacturing.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.
