(b)(4).Investigation - evaluation: a review of complaint history, instructions for use (ifu), quality control, and a visual inspection of the returned device were conducted during the investigation.The product was returned in an opened and used condition.A visual inspection noted that the wire split approximately one third down from the distal end, the coating also appeared stripped.The wire also appeared bent distal from where the catheter split.There is no evidence to suggest that the product was not manufactured to specifications.This product is shipped with an ifu which states warnings, precautions and instructions for use.We are unable to determine with certainty the root cause for the experienced difficulty.The appropriate internal personnel have been notified and we will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the quality engineering risk assessment (qera), no further risk reduction is required.
