Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device was not returned to stryker sustainability solutions for evaluation as attempts were made but were unsuccessful.As the device was not returned for evaluation, inspection was unable to be performed.A review of the dhr supports that the device met all inspection and test criteria prior to release from stryker.Therefore, the likely root cause(s) are: distal tip damage caused by mishandling and/or improper storage.User error (including user technique and methods).User anticipation/expectation of the device's curve.The instructions for use (ifu) state: do not attempt to use the reprocessed ep catheter prior to completely reading and understanding the directions for use.Do not alter this device.Inspect the packaging and catheter for damage or defects prior to use.Avoid excessive torque, stretching, kinking and/or bending of catheter, as this may interfere with distal tip shaping or cause damage to internal electrode wires.Avoid manual pre-bending of distal curve, as this may damage steering mechanism of steerable catheters.Handle catheter with care to avoid improper electrical functioning.Standard electrical grounding precautions should be observed when using electrical recording or stimulation equipment.Avoid excessive contact of handpiece with fluids, as this could adversely affect the electrical performance of the catheter.The reported event will continue to be monitored through post-market surveillance.Should the device become available for return, the investigation will be reopened.
