Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Evaluation of the returned lantern confirmed a fracture distal to the strain relief.If the lantern is advanced at an extreme angle during use, damage such as a kink and subsequent fracture may occur.Further evaluation of the device revealed an additional fracture and ovalization on the catheter shaft.This damage was likely incidental to the complaint.Penumbra catheters are 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.
