Summary of event: as reported, during a procedure involving an arteriovenous fistula, the wire of a micropuncture transitionless access set was damaged when using through the needle in the set.A photo of the wire provided by the user appears to show the wire unraveled.The wire was removed through the entry needle after initially being caught by the needle during the procedure.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional intervention due to this occurrence.The patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, manufacturing instructions and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.Although the complainant did not return the complaint device to cook for examination, they did include photos of the device.Examination of the photos show that the wire suffered damage but did not separate.In response to this incident, cook completed a review of the device history record (dhr).The dhr for the reported lot records no related non-conformances.A database search for complaints on the reported lot found no additional lot related complaints from the field.The introducer component lots associated with reported lot records four related non-conformances.Although these non-conformances are relevant to the reported failure mode, all non-conforming product was scrapped, and there are 100% inspections to capture this non-conformance.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 non-conforming product exists in house or in field.A review of relevant manufacturing documents was conducted.It was concluded that the device aspect in question was functionally inspected by quality control and no notable gaps in production or processing controls were noted.There is no indication that a design or process related failure mode contributed to the reported event.Sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.Cook also reviewed the product labeling.The instructions for use (ifu) provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: precautions ¿do not attempt to insert or withdraw the wire guide and/or introducer if resistance is felt.¿ ¿withdrawal or manipulation of the distal spring coil portion of the mandril wire guide through a needle tip may result in breakage.¿ cook has concluded that unintended user error has contributed to this incident.The device was withdrawn through the entry needle and this is warned against in the instructions for use ¿withdrawal or manipulation of the distal spring coil portion of the mandril wire guide through a needle tip may result in breakage.¿ the appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
