Manufacturer Narrative

The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, frequency analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), applicable fmea documents, labeling, and applicable manufacture records.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a kinked guidewire is confirmed but the exact cause is unknown.One 20 cm trialysis catheter, one 13f and 14f dilators, a guidewire, and one plastic protective tubing were returned for investigation.A kink was observed on the guidewire approximately 45 mm from the distal end and an ¿s¿ shaped bend at the distal end.Red colored residue was present on j-tip straightener and on the guidewire.Microscopic observation revealed the guidewire to be intact with use residue on the distal tip.The core wire was observed to be intact.The outer diameter of the guidewire was measured to be within specification.A non-complainant guidewire was inserted through the dilators returned and through the catheter and no obstructions were observed.Based on the description of the reported event and condition of the samples returned, possible contributing factors include advancement against resistance or into tissue.As the kink was observed on the guidewire returned, the complaint is confirmed but the exact cause is unknown.A lot history review (lhr) review is not possible, as no manufacturing lot number has been provided by the complainant.
