Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported peeled / delaminated tip coating was unable to be confirmed.Production record and corrective and preventive actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint handling database identified no other similar incidents from this lot.As there was no damage noted to the device during the inspection prior to use, the investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that during use interaction with the guiding catheter and/or other devices resulted in the reported peeled / delaminated tip coating/noted sporadically scraped teflon coating.The noted sporadically bent distal core and the noted multiple guide wire core bends likely occurred due to handling or during packing for return analysis.Based on the reported information and 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.
