Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The product was not returned to abbott vascular for analysis.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 similar incidents and/or complaints reported from this lot.There was no damage noted to the guide wire during the inspection prior to use which suggests a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling did not contribute to the reported difficulties.The investigation determined the reported tip separation and treatment appears to be related to case circumstances of the procedure.Based on the reported intimation, it is likely that the tip became kinked against the anatomy and/or other devices used resulting in the tip separation while in the anatomy.The separated tip was then removed using a snare device.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
