A visual evaluation of the returned device found the distal tip was peeled, exposing the corewire, approximately 1.4cm.Presence of adhesive remnants were found indicating that the pebax was properly attached to the corewire.No evidence of corewire fractured.The complaint is not consistent with the return that the distal tip was detached exposing the tip of the metal corewire.Based on all gathered information, the most probable root cause is undeterminable.A dhr (device history record) review was performed and no deviation was found.A search of the complaint database confirmed that no similar complaints exist for the specified batch.
