Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Results: the neuron max was kinked approximately 78.0 cm from the hub.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned neuron max revealed a kink.This damage typically occurs as a result of advancement against resistance or manipulation in tortuous anatomy.Evaluation of the returned jet7 confirmed the device was fractured and stuck within the neuron max.Manipulation through a kinked neuron max would likely result in resistance.If the jet7 is retracted against resistance, damage such as a fracture may occur.The proximal fractured segment was not returned for evaluation.Further evaluation revealed coil winds within the jet7 were unraveled.This damage is likely a result of the catheter becoming fractured.Penumbra catheters are inspected during in-process inspection and during quality inspection after manufacturing.The product lot number was not provided, therefore, the manufacturing records could not be reviewed.This report is associated with mfr report number: 3005168196-2019-01647.
