(b)(4).Device evaluated by mfr: the returned product consisted of a kinetix guidewire.The shaft and the remainder of the device were checked for damage.The device showed a separated tip and was not returned per the customer¿s complaint.The missing section measured approximately 4.5cm long.This measurement was gathered from taking the length of a finished product and subtracting the returned product length and the remainder was the missing piece.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.There was no evidence of any damage or irregularities contributing to the reported crossing difficulty.(b)(4).

Event Description
|
It was reported that distal detachment occurred.The target lesion was located in the tortuous ramus branch coronary artery.A 185cm kinetix¿ guide wire was advanced but failed to cross the lesion.The device was removed without tension nor difficulty.However, upon x-ray, a small black speck was noticed in the vessel.The wire tip had broken off and was unable to be snared.The wire tip was stented against the vessel wall with another stent and the procedure was completed.The patient was initially stable for 4-6 hours post procedure but developed groin and retroperitoneal hematoma post-procedure probably due to leaving heparin on post-procedure.It was planned to turn off heparin in the morning.
