Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation - evaluation.(b)(6), in columbia, informed cook on 11nov2020 of an incident involving a neff percutaneous access set, rpn: npas-100, from lot# 10003582.It was reported that during the procedure on (b)(6) 2020, while the doctor was prepping the npas, the wire guide tore apart when removed from the packaging.Another device was needed.The patient reportedly experienced no adverse effects as a result of this incident.A review of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), and quality control, as well as a visual inspection and dimensional verification of the returned device, was conducted during the investigation.One prior to use wire guide was returned to cook for evaluation.Visual inspection of the device noted the distal weld to be missing.The coil was noted to be totally elongated.A kink was located near the proximal end.Dimensional verification found the outer diameter of the mandrel wire to be within manufacturing tolerance.Cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to specification.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the design history file (dhf) showed that this device is both safe and effective for its intended use.A review of the dhr for the reported complaint device lot (10003582) revealed no related non-conformances.A review of the dhrs for the related wire guide subassembly lots revealed two related non-conformances for "offset coil" and "weld not caught" in which two devices were scrapped.A database search identified one other event associated with the reported device lot for an unrelated failure mode.Given the available information, cook has concluded that there is no evidence suggesting nonconforming product exists either in house or in field.Neither neff percutaneous access set nor cope mandril wire guide are supplied with an instructions for use (ifu).A label attached to the wire guide holder/hoop warns the user not to remove the wire guide through the needle.Based on the information provided, inspection of the returned device, and the results of the investigation, a definitive root cause for this event was traced to component failure without a deficiency in manufacturing/device design.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the quality engineering risk assessment no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
