This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.The complaint cannot be confirmed for guidewire mechanical separation because the sample was not returned for assessment.The exact root cause could not be determined.The likely root cause is that the guidewire experienced relative motion back through the needle which caused it shear.Review of dhr showed there were no issues noted during manufacture of the product that could have contributed to this complaint condition.Currently no action is recommended since this risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the failure mode and effects analysis (fmea).
