The device was not received for evaluation at the time of this report; therefore, no physical analysis of the device can be performed.A review of the device history records of the specimen device does not present any indication of manufacturing defect or anomaly that could have impacted on the event as reported.During manufacturing the production operators are instructed to 100% visually and tactilely inspect for any obvious defect, which includes a tactile examination of the entire length of each wire.In addition, during packaging of this product the operators are instructed to 100% visually inspect for any obvious defect prior to shipment.The history records indicate this product was final inspection tested at lake region medical and was determined to be acceptable.As noted in the device instructions for use (dfu) warnings, "do not manipulate, advance and/or withdraw the zipwire hydrophilic guidewire through a metal cannula or needle.Manipulation, advancement, and/or withdrawal through a metal device may result in destruction and/or separation of the outer polymer jacket requiring retrieval.If a needle is used for initial placement, a plastic entry needle is recommended when using the zipwire hydrophilic guidewire.Extreme caution should be observed when used with a one-wall puncture needle." the dfu precautions also indicate, "the zipwire hydrophilic guidewire should be advanced through the scope using short, deliberate 2-3cm movements to prevent inadvertent damage to the device or patient." at this time, it is not possible to assign a definitive root cause for the event as reported.Based on the information provided, clinical and/or procedural factors appear to have impacted on the event as reported.The patient information was not provided at the time of this report.If there is any further relevant information provided, a follow up medwatch report will be submitted.
