This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.One 8 fr 65 cm destination sheath was received for product evaluation.No other accessory components were returned.The sheath was subjected to visual analysis and flattened segments were observed.Measurements of the flattened segment was found to be starting at 31.5 cm from the hub and ended at 32.5 cm.The second flattened segment started at 38.5cm and ended at 41.5 cm while the last segment started at 46cm and ended at 50 cm.The outer diameter of the sheath was measured to be 0.137" which is within specifications.No other visual anomalies were observed.The complaint can be confirmed for sheath mechanical damage due to the flattening noted on the sheath.Based on the investigation, the cause of the event cannot be determined as it is likely that the flattening of the sheaths could have 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 failure mode and effects analysis (fmea).
