Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported failure to advance was unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.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 determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that after sheath and stylet removal inadvertent mishandling resulted in the noted tip damages (kinked, torn) thus resulting in the reported failure to advance over the guide wire.Manipulation of the device likely resulted in the noted stretched guide wire exit notch and the noted multiple hypotube bends.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
