Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned for evaluation.Lot history record (lhr) and corrective and preventive actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed there is no indication of a lot specific issue.In this case, based on the reported information, the tip separation resulting in unexpected medical intervention likely occurred due to interaction with the rotational atherectomy device.It is likely that the barewire was subjected to torsional loads exceeding the material limitations causing the tip to separate requiring a snare device to retrieve the separated tip.Based on the reported information, there is no indication that the reported material separation resulting in unexpected medical intervention is related to a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
