Block h6 (impact codes): imdrf impact code f08 is being used to capture the reportable event of hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization.Block h10: the returned jagwire was analyzed.Visual analysis and microscopic inspection revealed that the distal tip had almost all the pebax detached, exposing the core wire.Additionally, there is no evidence of core wire being broken.No other problems with the device were noted.With all available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event of core wire break was not confirmed during the product investigation.Based on the condition of the returned device, it is probable that the problem occurred due to excess manipulation of the jagwire.This most likely happened during the procedure when excess force was applied to the device such as during the guidewire insertion through another device or the interaction with the scope, causing the coding to detach.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.
