The device history record review of the reported lot number shows evidence that the product was released according to all established procedures and qa documentation.One used sample was received for evaluation.A visual inspection was performed; it was noticed that there was at least 20" of the catheter missing.A cut or break in the catheter was also noticed.However based on the available information the root cause could not be confirmed as being related to the manufacturing/production process as it was reported the product was used in a procedure and not as an out of box failure.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.
