Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Evaluation of the returned jet7 confirmed a fracture distal to the hub underneath the strain relief.If the jet7 is forcefully manipulated against resistance at an extreme angle during use, damage such as this may occur.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.H3 other text : placeholder.
