The patient's exact age is unknown; however, it was reported that the patient was over 18 years of age.(b)(4).The returned trapezoid rx was analyzed, and a visual evaluation observed that the thumb ring was detached.The thumb ring has traces of junction with the handle.The device was returned without a sheath and side car.Based on all available information, it is possible that the missing side car led to the reported event of guidewire difficult to advance.It was reported that the problem was observed during preparation; however, it was found that the thumb ring was detached so it is possible that the device could have faced excess manipulation.Perhaps the technique used could have contributed to the reported event.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.
