The manufacturing records of the catheter, lot number 00349934, used during the event were reviewed, and there were no quality or manufacturing issues during the manufacture of this lot.Per the kodama catheter instructions for use, the kodama catheter contains a short monorail guidewire engagement system.As such, it is susceptible to guidewire entanglement during catheter deployment and withdrawal.This may have been a contributing factor to this event, but we are unable to confirm the cause without physical investigation of the kodama catheter used in the event.
