From the review of the manufacturing lot history record, there is no indication that the break occurred due to a manufacturing defect.The investigation indicates the guidewire may have been damaged during the 2nd thrombectomy aspiration pass, then broke during the pass.However, there is no way to confirm every step taken that could have led the guidewire to break during this procedure, therefore, the root cause of this complaint could not be determined.Because the procedure was completed successfully, no patient injury was reported for this complaint.
