This report is being submitted as follow up no.2 to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.A correction is being provided to the device return date in section d9.The date of return was inadvertently not provided in follow up no.1; therefore, the date has been provided.A review of the device history record of the product code/lot# combination was conducted with no findings.One 4fr pinnacle introducer kit sheath was received for product evaluation.The dilator and sheath were received unmated.Visual inspection of the sheath and dilator revealed that the sheath and dilator were incompletely formed from 13.2 cm until the end of the dilator tip.The sheath was also incompletely formed from 9.4 cm until end of the sheath tip.The complaint can be confirmed for sheath catheter and dilator mechanical damage.A non-conformance has been initiated to investigate the case.Per the investigative report, based on the occurrence rate found for internal and external failures, it can be concluded that this defect/event is isolated.No occurrence threshold was breached per trending analysis.Therefore, the only further action recommended is tracking and trending for future occurrences.
