Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported shaft tear and leak were 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 incidents from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported torn material; however, factors that may contribute to tears (torn guide wire notch) include, but are not limited to, handling, material damage and interactions with other devices.The reported leak appears to be related to operational context as the torn guide wire notch likely resulted in the leak.It should be noted that the returned device appeared to be inserted although the account indicated the device was not used.It is possible that interaction due to handling and/or manipulation of the device while loaded on the guide wire caused the reported tear (torn guide wire notch); however, this cannot be confirmed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.H6: corrected patient code 2645 to 2199, removed device code 1506.
