Additional Manufacturer Narrative

After further review of additional information received the following sections have been updated accordingly: g3, g6, h1, h2, h3 and h6.As reported, there was cracking of the casing near the hub of a 6f infiniti pigtail 110cm 6sh diagnostic catheter.There was no reported patient injury.The device was never used.The cracking was noticed by scrub tech after opening package.An image was provided for review.The picture shows a catheter with a strain relief that shows signs of degradation.Per the account, there may have been a second pigtail with the same issue.No additional information related to this device was provided.The devices associated were not returned as expected.One photograph was attached to event-2025-17064.The image shows what appears to be a dx catheter with degraded strain relief.No other anomalies or notable details were observed.The reported ¿strain relief-degradation¿ was seen during the photo analysis.Based on the available information, the specific cause of the degradation could not be determined.Potential contributing factors include storage or handling conditions within the reporting facility or factors associated with the manufacturing process of the unit.Users are trained to inspect products for signs of damage prior to and during use, and any product showing damage is not to be used.The product labeling includes information for safety intended to make users aware of such risks.According to the instructions for use (ifu), ¿store in a cool, dark, dry place.Do not use if package is open or damaged.¿ while this guidance mitigates risks associated with storage and handling, it does not eliminate the potential for degradation.Because a potential link to the manufacturing process could not be excluded, an investigation has been initiated to further evaluate potential contributing factors and implement further actions as appropriate.No additional actions will be taken at this time.
