Manufacturer Narrative

A visual evaluation of the returned guidewire revealed that the tip of the guidewire was peeled, exposing the corewire.The tip of the metal corewire was not exposed.There was no evidence of corewire fracture.Sanding marks were found on the corewire.Evidence of adhesive remnants were found which indicate that the pebax tip was correctly adhered during the manufacturing process.The complaint is not consistent with the returned guidewire since the tip was peeled and the tip of the metal corewire was not exposed.Based on all gathered information, the investigation fails to determine a definite root cause.There is an investigation in place to address distal tip related issues.A dhr (device history record) review was performed and no deviation was found.A labeling review was performed and there is no evidence that the device was not used in accordance with the labeling.
