On (b)(6) 2021, the patient underwent a bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (blvr) procedure with zephyr valves.The physician had used the zephyr 4.0-j catheter to size the airway, and then a 4.0-lp valve was loaded into the catheter.After loading the valve into the catheter, they noticed one of the sizing wings on the catheter was missing.The valve was deployed, and then a new delivery catheter was used to complete the procedure.Additional details regarding the location of the sizing wing and/or its retrieval have been requested from the physician, but have not yet been received.
