Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The returned instrument was subjected to a detailed technical analysis and the corresponding product release documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for the reported event.The technical investigation revealed a longitudinal tear with a length of about 38 mm, beginning at the proximal end of the proximal x-ray marker.In close vicinity of the tear scratches were observed which have likely been caused by a hard, sharp-edged object such as e.G.Anatomical structure.Review of the product release documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.In addition to visual inspections each instrument is tested for air tightness by means of a helium leak test and a pressure test.We can therefore confirm that the instrument was delivered in a leak-proof condition.Based on the conducted investigations, no material or manufacturing related root cause was determined.The root cause for the reported event is most likely related to the patients anatomy.
