Manufacturer Narrative

Qn# (b)(4).The report that the guide wire unravelled was confirmed through examination of the returned sample.The customer returned an opened cvc kit containing a guide wire.No obvious signs-of-use were observed.Visual examination revealed the guide wire is unravelled from the proximal weld and contains two additional kinks towards the distal end.The kinking and the unravelling resulted in the distal j-bend to be misshapen.Microscopic examination of the guide wire confirmed the core wire was broken adjacent to the proximal weld.Both welds were present and appeared full and spherical.The kinks on the guide wire measured 15mm and 68mm via calibrated ruler from the distal weld.The guide wire length from the distal weld to the point of separation on the core wire measured 600mm via calibrated ruler, which was within the specification limits of 596mm-604mm per the guide wire product drawing.The guide wire outer diameter measured 0.850mm via calibrated caliper, which was within the specification limits of 0.838mm-0.877mm per the guide wire product drawing.Functional inspection could not be performed due to the severity of the damage on the returned guide wire.A manual tug test confirmed that the distal weld was intact.The ifu provided with the kit informs the user, "do not use excessive force when introducing guidewire or tissue dilator as this can lead to vessel perforation, bleeding, or component damage".The ifu also states, "do not apply excessive force in placing or removing catheter or guidewire.Excessive force can cause component damage or breakage.If damage is suspected or withdrawal cannot be easily accomplished, radiographic visualization should be obtained, and further consultation requested".A device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.Arrow guide wires of this size are designed and manufactured to withstand a tensile force of 2.75 pounds force.This internal specification is higher than the bs en iso standard of 2.2 pounds force for this size wire.The selected insertion site and patient anatomy may present a tortuous path that could contribute to the possibility of guide wire kinking.Guide wire breakage may occur if a force greater than the desi gn specification is applied during removal.Based on these circumstances, unintentional use error caused or contributed to this event.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.Other remarks: n/a; corrected data: n/a.
