Failure analysis conclusion: at the conclusion of the failure analysis investigation the reported event was confirmed.The viperwire was returned to csi for analysis, but the distal fractured guide wire section was not returned for analysis.Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the guide wire fracture face revealed necking and shear dimples.This indicates that the guide wire core underwent a tensile force fracture.As the original oad driveshaft fractured distal portion and the guide wire spring tip section were not returned for analysis, the root cause of the necking, shear dimples and ultimately the spring tip and core wire section separating from the guide wire is undetermined.The device history record for this viperwire lot number has been reviewed.No issues or discrepancies were noted during this review that would have contributed to the reported event.The device met material, assembly, and quality control requirements.This event occurred during the same procedure described in mdr 3004742232-2018-00392.Csi id: (b)(4).
