This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide the device return date in section d9, update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.One used 8fr 65 cm destination sheath and dilator were returned for product evaluation.The dilator was partially mated to the sheath when received.Visual inspection revealed that the sheath had a flattened segment.Measurements of the flattened segment was found to be starting at 55cm and ending at 57cm from the hub.A slight bend on the dilator was also observed.The dilator was partially mated with 10cm from the dilator hub sticking out of the sheath.No other visual anomalies were observed.The complaint can be confirmed for sheath mechanical damage as it is likely that the flattening of the sheaths occurred due to the application of transverse compressive forces.The source of these forces could not be determined.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.
