Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Bactiseal peritoneal catheter (ns0339) was not returned for evaluation but an photo was provided.X-ray were provided showing that the catheters were found on the x-rays.This catheter only has a radiopaque striped line and is not completely radiopaque.This is the reason why it cannot be seen very well.Furthermore, for this kind of catheter, the visibility on x-rays depends on the striped line orientation.The root cause for the issue reported by the customer, could be due to the surgeon not being used to this product as this catheter only has a radiopaque striped line and the catheter is not completely radiopaque.
