Description of event: as reported, during an unknown procedure, a wire included in the micropuncture transitionless stiffened cannula access set sheared off in a patient and remains in the extra-vascular tissue.Additional information was received 12oct2020.The complaint device was used to obtain access into a calcified left femoral artery for a cardiac catheterization.It is unknown if resistance was encountered.The wire guide was manipulated or removed through the entry needle.The tip of the wire was left in the patient, who received six days of antibiotics and an ultrasound due to the event investigation ¿ evaluation: a document based investigation was performed including a review of complaint history, device history record, documentation, drawings, the instructions for use, manufacturing instructions, quality control data, and specifications.The complaint device was not returned; therefore, no physical examinations could be performed.However, a document based investigation evaluation was performed.There is no evidence to suggest the product was made out of specification.A review of the device history record found no non-conformances related to the reported failure mode.Because there are no related non-conformances, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot related complaints that have been received from the field, it was concluded that there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in field.A review of complaint history records shows no other complaints associated with the complaint device lot.The instructions for use (ifu), provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: precautions: when inserting, manipulating or withdrawing a device through an introducer, always maintain introducer position.Do not attempt to insert or withdraw the wire guide and/or introducer if resistance is felt.A review of relevant manufacturing documents was conducted.It was concluded that the device aspect in question was visually/functionally inspected by quality control and no related gaps in production or processing controls were noted.A capa was opened to separate the failure mode of the outer catheter and wire guide of devices with "mpis" prefix.This capa focused on the wire separation issue of the wire guides.The capa team determined the following root causes: the design and material choice of the stf and htf wire guides result in a lower tensile strength than the pmg wire guides which leads to a higher number of tip separation complaints seen in the field.The complaint analysis and returned devices, nc analysis, and the etl (engineering test lab) testing support this conclusion.The practice of removing the wire guide while the needle is still inserted in the blood vessel is known.This was supported by a complaint review and through discussion with product management.The capa was closed canceled at root cause on 17dec2018 as risk benefit analyses concluded the potential benefits of the device outweigh the risks identified the investigation conclusion drawn is the potential cause can be traced to the procedure as it was stated that removing the wire while it was through the needle which as shown the included label and instructions for use which is known to a result in the reported failure mode.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is warranted.Cook will continue to monitor this device via the complaints database for similar complaints.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
