Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported break was unable to be confirmed.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 other similar incidents reported from this lot.It is likely that the reported break (unraveled distal portion of the guidewire) is related to operational context.It is likely that during handling of the guidewire during removal caused the coils to stretch and thus give the appearance of a break.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
