Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported leak was confirmed.The reported difficult to advance could not be replicated in a testing environment as it is related to operational context of the procedure.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 similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the moderately calcified vessel during advancement causing the reported difficulty to advance and subsequent shaft leak.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
