Manufacturer Narrative

H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.The complaint of a damaged guidewire is confirmed and was determined to be use related.One niagara kit was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation showed the core wire of the guidewire within the kit was broken and the coiled wire was observed to be unraveled.A microscopic observation revealed the break in the core wire of the guidewire was tapered with a mostly smooth and granular fracture surface, which is indicative of tensile failure caused by excessive pulling forces on the guidewire.Biological material was also seen on the wire which may have contributed to the observed guidewire fracture as retraction of the wire together with the biological material could have caused the pieces to become stuck.The investigation findings are consistent with damage caused by retraction of the guidewire against the bevel of the introducer needle.Normal movement of the guidewire is away from the sharpened bevel and will not damage the wire.If the guidewire direction is reversed, the guidewire is then pulled against the sharpened edge of the needle bevel and can cause shearing damage of the wire and/or cause the wire to become stuck within the needle.An examination of the wire structure revealed no potential damage/defect related to manufacture of the product.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.H3 other text : evaluation findings in section h:11.
