Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported separation was confirmed.The reported failure to advance could not be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.Additionally, a review of the complaint history of the reported lot did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.It should be noted the coronary dilatation catheters (cdc), nc trek rx, global, instruction for use (ifu) states: caution: all air must be removed from the balloon and displaced with contrast prior to inserting into the body.In this case, it is unknown if the ifu violation caused or contributed to the reported complaint.The investigation determined the reported complaints appear to be related to operational context.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture or labeling of the device.Na.
