Manufacturer Narrative

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.Investigation ¿ evaluation.It was reported by (b)(6) hospital located in the united states that the wire guide in a neff percutaneous access set (rpn: npas-100-nt, lot#: 14058133) separated.The device was required to aid in placement of a left percutaneous nephroureteral catheter (manufacturer, rpn, and lot# unknown) on (b)(6) 2021.During the procedure, it was reported the wire guide tip broke in the kidney due to an unknown barrier.Attempts were made to remove the device fragment but were unsuccessful; the wire remained in the patient as evidenced by imaging.The procedure was then completed by removing the initial wire guide and replacing it with a new, like device.On (b)(6) 2021, the patient returned to radiology where the device fragment was successfully removed by ¿aspiration¿.Imaging confirmed the wire fragment was no longer in the patient.No other adverse events were reported due to this occurrence.Reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), quality control, and manufacturing instructions (mi) were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned; therefore, no physical examinations could be performed.However, 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 dhr for the reported complaint device lot revealed no recorded non-conformances relevant to the failure mode.A review of the dhr for the related wire guide subassembly lot revealed two relevant non-conformances for ¿solder broken¿, quantity 1 and ¿solder insufficient¿, quantity 1.Although these non-conformances are related to the reported failure mode, all non-conforming product was scrapped.A database search did not identify any other events associated with the reported device lot.Based on the available information, cook has concluded that there is no evidence suggesting nonconforming product exists either in house or in field.There are no instructions for use (ifu) associated with this device.The wire guide was checked 100% before release, all related non-conforming product was scrapped, and no complaints from other facilities were recorded.The patient¿s anatomy may make withdrawal or manipulation of the wire guide difficult which can also result in damage as it was noted the wire guide encountered an ¿unknown barrier¿ during removal.Based on the available information, no device return, and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded a potential root cause for this event is component failure, unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the 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.
