Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide additional information in section b5, to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.One 6fr 45 cm destination sheath was received for product evaluation at terumo medical corporation.The sheath was mated with dilator when received.The sheath was subjected to visual analysis and damage was observed on the tip of the sheath.Microscopic analysis confirmed that the sheath tip was damaged in a fashion where there was a bulge and a fold on the tip of the sheath.The outer diameter of the sheath was measured to be 0.1094" and the inner diameter of the sheath tip was 0.086" which was within manufacturer specification.A review of the device history record of the product code/lot# combination was conducted with no findings.The complaint can be confirmed for sheath tip mechanical damage.Based on the damage observed, it is likely that the damage on the sheath tip can be attributed to difficulties at the point of insertion, possible due to calcification.It is likely that the tip of the artery came in contact with calcification that propagated various forces that deformed the tip of the sheath.The device was in a conforming state when released from terumo control.There is no indication that any manufacturing issues may have led to this event.Currently no action is recommended since this risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the fmea.
