Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual analysis and additional testing methods were performed on the returned device.The reported communication issue was unable to be confirmed due to the returned condition of the device (dried contrast within the sheath) which prevented functional testing.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.The investigation determined the cause for the reported communication issue was operational context.The optical fiber of the returned catheter was observed to be broken and was the cause for the reported and observed communication failure.In this case, the optical fiber break was likely due the use or handling techniques employed during prep or attempted connection.It should be noted that there was one successful pullback recorded and one successful pullback recorded on the returned device¿which indicates that the catheter was able to connect, calibrate, and perform a pullback for the user prior to the optical fiber break.The guidewire exit notch tear is consistent with aggressively withdrawing (excess force applied) the catheter from the engaged guidewire; however, the guidewire exit tear is unrelated to the reported communication problem.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
