(b)(4).Visual analysis of the device revealed corewire tip was totally broken off.In addition, the ptfe was peeled.It is likely that the failure mode observed could have been caused due to interaction with the catheter when the physician was trying to insert the guidewire through it.If extra force was applied during usage of the jagwire revolution, this could lead to ptfe peeling as well as the corewire broken.Therefore the most probable cause of this complaint is adverse event related to procedure since it is most likely that the adverse event occurred during the procedure and the device had no influence on event.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.
