Evaluation of the returned jet7 confirmed that the catheter was fractured.If the jet7 is forcefully retracted against resistance, damage such as a fracture may occur.The root cause of resistance could not be determined.Further evaluation revealed an additional proximal fracture and multiple kinks throughout the length of the catheter shaft.This damage was incidental to the reported complaint and the root cause could not be determined.Penumbra products are visually 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.
