Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.One 9fr introducer sheath was returned for product evaluation.The sheath was subjected to visual analysis and it was noted that the valve was missing from inside the hub.It had dislodged from its intended position; the valve was found inside the sheath tubing at about 1.5 cm from the sheath hub.The complaint can be confirmed for mechanical damage.Based on the investigation results, the likely cause of the event is the dilator was inserted off-center into the hub, dislodging the valve from its intended orientation.It is likely the crosscut valve was dislodged from the hub causing the leakage.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.
