Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported separation was confirmed.Production record and corrective and preventative actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar complaints from this lot.Based on the reported information and the observations from the returned analysis, the investigation determined that the reported separation appears to be related to operational context.Return device analysis noted that the fractured faces of the hypotube were oval shaped which can indicate the hypotube was kinked and then separated.In this case, it is likely that the device was inadvertently mishandled during removal from the coil, such that the bdc became kinked and upon further manipulation the bdc ultimately separated.Based on the results of the complaint investigation there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
