Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Although requested, the kodama catheter was not returned to acist for investigation, as it had been discarded by the facility.Per review of the manufacturing records of the catheter lot number 304282 used during the event, there were no quality or manufacturing issues during the manufacture of this lot.Per the kodama catheter instructions for use, the kodama catheter contains a short monorail guidewire engagement system.As such, it is susceptible to guidewire entanglement and/or prolapse during catheter deployment and withdrawal.Movement of the catheter or guidewire against resistance may result in elongation or separation of the catheter or guidewire tip.The cause of this event is most likely guidewire entanglement or prolapse during employment or withdrawal of the kodama catheter, although we are unable to confirm this without investigation of the physical kodama catheter used in the event.
