Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Evaluation of the returned lantern confirmed that the catheter was fractured.Evaluation revealed that the support coil winds were exposed at the fractured location.Based on the reported event, this damage likely occurred during removal of lantern from the diagnostic catheter.If the lantern is retracted at an angle, damage such as a kink and subsequent fracture may occur.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.
