Description of event: as reported, the distal tip of a roadrunner extra-support bare mandril wire guide was observed unraveled and stretched out when opening the device packaging prior to a procedure.No damage was observed to the device packaging.The device did not make patient contact.The procedure was successfully completed with another device of the same type.Investigation ¿ evaluation.A visual inspection of the returned device was conducted.A document based investigation was also performed including a review of complaint history, device history record, the instructions for use, manufacturing instructions, and quality control data.The complainant returned rstf-14-300 (roadrunner extra-support bare mandril wire guide) to cook for investigation in a prior-to-use condition.The solder connection at the distal tip was separated from the inner mandril wire, resulting in coil elongation.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.The instructions for use (ifu), provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: how supplied: ¿supplied sterilize by ethylene oxide gas in peel-open packages.Intended for one-time use.Sterile if package is unopened and undamaged.Do not use the product if there is doubt as to whether the product is sterile.Store in a dark, dry, cool place.Avoid extended exposure to light.Upon removal from package, inspect the produce to ensure no damage has occurred.¿ a review of relevant manufacturing documents was conducted.It was concluded that the device aspect in question was visually/functionally inspected by quality control.No related gaps in production or processing controls were noted.Cook has concluded that shipping/handling contributed to this incident, as there are 100% inspections in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.It is likely that the wire was snagged on the wire holder during removal from the holder, resulting in solder separation at the distal tip.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.
