Reported risk: The catheter alignment arrow printed onto the strain relief is not aligned with the detachment feature of the catheter connector, resulting in the potential for the catheter to be attached to the controller in the detach orientation. In this orientation, the catheter is not securely attached to the controller and may be partially (~1cm) ejected from controller.
