The results of the investigation concluded the tip corewire had been fractured, but both ends remained attached to the coil.The combined length of tip corewire sections indicated there was no part left in patient.A review of the device history record confirmed the device met all visual, dimensional, and functional specifications at the time it was manufactured, prior to shipment.No material defect was noticed on corewire portion.The investigation showed that the corewire was twisted over multiple turns.According to ifu: before an optowire is moved or torqued, the tip movement should be examined under fluoroscopy.Do not torque an optowire without observing corresponding movement of the tip; otherwise, vessel trauma may occur.If resistance occurs and the cause of resistance cannot be determined, do not move or torque the optowire.Stop the procedure, determine the cause of resistance under fluoroscopy and take appropriate action.
