Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
One-unit langston was returned for evaluation.The distal tip of the catheter was separated.The pebax sleeve was present on the separated tip.The distal shaft and the tip were not fully bonded together.The unit was reassembled by sliding the distal shaft back into the pebax overlay and butted up to the proximal side of the tip section.The pebax overlay was loose around the distal shaft, when reassembled.A kink was present in the catheter midshaft.An internal capa has been issued to this complaint.It has been determined that the fusing process did not attain its required time/temp profile for complete fusing to occur.This is the only tip separation failure for this product line in its lifetime.
