Manufacturer Narrative
|
Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of a jetstream xc-2.1 atherectomy catheter.The device was visually examined for any shaft damage.Visual examination notice that there were multiple areas of small kinks on the catheter shaft from 77cm to 86cm from the tip.Visual examination noticed that the infusion line had burst proximal the kinks and damage.The location of the burst infusion line was approximately 93cm to 94cm from the tip.The damage that was notice is consistent with sheath interference during the procedure.Pushing, pulling and torqueing of the device could possibly cause the damage that was noticed.The kinks on the shaft causes the fluid to back up inside of the infusion sheath and causes the infusion sheath to burst proximal of the buckling.The device was set-up and functionally tested and the device functioned as designed except for the leaking at the burst infusion line.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.
