Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of a chariot guide sheath.There was blood on the outside and inside the device.Microscopic examination revealed a kink about.5mm from the hub and a kink 15.5cm from the tip.The shaft was detached 18cm from the tip with but still attached by the coil.The coil was stretched proximally 32cm between the shaft separations.The shaft was also damaged on the separated end of the distal half of the separation.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The most probable root cause is operational context as device performance was limited due to anatomical procedural factors.(b)(4).
