    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE COMPLAINANT WAS UNABLE TO REPORT THE LOT NUMBER; THEREFORE THE MANUFACTURE DATE AND EXPIRATION DATE ARE UNKNOWN. HOWEVER, THE COMPLAINANT STATED THAT THE DEVICE WAS USED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. (B)(4). VISUAL EVALUATION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE FOUND THAT THE FLARE WAS DETACHED AND CATHETER WAS SLIGHTLY KINKED AND BENT. EVIDENCE OF THE FLARE MANUFACTURING PROCESS WAS PRESENT ON THE CATHETER. FUNCTIONAL TESTING COULD NOT BE PERFORMED DUE TO THE FLARE DETACHMENT. THE COMPLAINT WAS CONFIRMED; THE FLARE DETACHMENT PREVENTED THE SNARE LOOP FROM EXTENDING. ADDITIONALLY, THE CATHETER IS SLIGHTLY KINKED AND WAS BENT IN THE DISTAL SECTION. HOWEVER, FLARE DETACHMENT IS CONTRARY TO WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY REPORTED. THE REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION FAILED TO INDICATE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS COMPLAINT. THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
