Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation results: visual examination of the returned complaint device found that the exit marker of the device was bunched up.It was also noted that the catheter was cut and the proximal section of the device was not returned.Based on the condition of the returned device, this failure is likely due to anatomical/procedural factors encountered during the procedure which limited the performance of the device.Therefore, the most probable root cause is operational context.
