Evaluation of the returned lantern confirmed a proximal shaft fracture.If the lantern is forcefully advanced through the rotating hemostasis valve (rhv) at an extreme angle, the device may become kinked and subsequently fracture.Further evaluation of the device revealed a kink in its mid-shaft and an ovalization in its distal shaft.This damage was likely incidental to the complaint and the root cause could not be determined.Penumbra catheters are 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.
