Device now available for evaluation.Evaluation methods, results and conclusions now available after device evaluation device was located on (b)(6) 2018 at the manufacturer and evaluated on (b)(6) 2018 after device had been misplaced since its delivery to the manufacturer on 07 june 2018.Visual inspection confirmed that the device is in two pieces, broken 14cm from the tip of the device.All marker bands are present.Distal tip has slight prolapse from use; there appears to be stretched scratches observed near the tear where the device had dragged against something on the proximal side of the break.Some light kinks were observed on the device.16cm from the proximal side of the break, more heavy scratching is observed in the working length.When final catheter drawing was reviewed, it showed that the point of breakage was approximately where the necking of the tubing began.Due to the amount of damage to the catheter, it cannot be determined if the tubing broke proximal or distal to where the necking began.
