The device history record review confirms that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The subject device is not available; therefore, functional testing as well as physical analysis cannot be performed.However, hemorrhage is a known risk associated with endovascular procedures and is listed as such in the device directions for use (dfu).Therefore, an assignable cause of anticipated procedural complications was assigned to this event.
