Patient's exact age is unknown; however it was reported that the patient was over the age of 18.(b)(4).Investigation results: visual evaluation of the returned celebrity cytology brush revealed that the catheter was kinked and torn near to the handle.Further evaluation noted that the pull wire was found kinked and broken with evidence of bending.Functional analysis showed that the brush failed to extend due to the condition of the returned device.Based on the evaluation of the returned device, these failures are likely due to anatomical or procedural factors encountered during the procedure which limited the performance of the device.Therefore, the most probable root cause is operational context.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and no deviations were found.
