Block h6: medical device code a040506 captures the reportable issue of sheath peeled.Block h10: investigation result: a visual examination of the returned device noted that the sheath and dilator was free of obvious kinks and bends.It was also noted that there was evidence of coating in the sheath.Functional inspection was performed and the sheath and dilator surfaces were moistened with water and they became slippery, indicating that the coating was applied on both devices, the reported complaint is not confirmed.A microscope inspection was also performed under magnification and it observed that the surface of the sheath had coating residues.No other issues were noted on the device.As there was no issue with the visual and functional test during product analysis, the complaint incident cannot be confirmed.The most probable root cause of the reported event therefore cannot be detected.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.
