The catheter (id ns0339) was returned for evaluation.Failure analysis: the catheter was visually inspected and no defects were noted.The catheter was too short to allow any investigation.Root cause analysis: the possible root cause for the issue reported by the customer, could be due to catheter susceptible to kinking which leads to occlusion or could be due to biological debris and protein build up interfering with the catheter.However, it was not possible to confirm and identify the root cause of this assumption as the product was too short for investigation.
