Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, during an angioplasty procedure, a flexor raabe guiding sheath leaked.Another sheath was used to complete the procedure.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.A visual inspection of the complaint device was also conducted.One used flexor raabe guiding sheath was returned for investigation.There was no damage to the sheath noted and there was no leakage during the examination.The complaint failure mode could not be replicated.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.No related non-conformances were found, and there have been no other reported complaints for this lot number.The product ifu instructs the user to inspect the product upon removal from the package to ensure no damage has occurred.The information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, ifu, customer testimony, and investigation of the returned device suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured to specification.There is no evidence of non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Cook has concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies contributed to this incident.Testing of the returned sheath showed no damage and could not recreate the reported leakage; however, the exact environment in which the failure occurred cannot be recreated.The risk analysis for this failure mode was reviewed and no additional escalation was required.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.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.
