Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device history records have been reviewed and this lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.This is the only complaint reported to date for this lot number and failure mode.The device was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection found a complete detachment in the catheter shaft, confirming the investigation for the reported detachment.It is likely the user perceived the detachment as a break.The definitive root cause for the identified detachment could not be determined based upon available information.It is unknown whether procedural issues contributed to the event.Labeling review: the current ifu (instructions for use) states: warnings: when the catheter is exposed to the vascular system, it should be manipulated while under high quality fluoroscopic observation.Do not advance or retract the catheter unless the balloon is fully deflated.If resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of the resistance before proceeding.Applying excessive force to the catheter can result in tip or catheter breakage, catheter kink, or balloon separation.
