Additional information: it cannot be confirmed with certainty which spider fx device the portion detached from.Reported lot# is a516705 however, device may be from lot a572640.Image analysis: the spiderfx embolic protection device was not returned for evaluation.Six photographic images were received for analysis.The first image is of a spiderfx delivery catheter loaded into the transportation hoop.The spiderfx distal assembly is protruding from the green delivery catheter.The spiderfx capture wire is kinked just proximal to the proximal marker band of the filter.The green delivery catheter appears to have separated at the primary wire exit port just distal of the transparent section of the delivery catheter end of the duel ended catheter.The second and third images are of shelf carton labels.The fourth image is of a section of green delivery catheter within a zip lock biohazard pouch.Due to the quality and clarity of the image it is not possible to determine if the catheter exhibits tensile or torsional stretching.Images five and six are of cine images.In each of the images there appears to be a radiopaque marker band.Image 5 appears to be an attempt to snare the delivery catheter and radiopaque marker band.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
