Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.One ik precision nitinol guidewire was returned for product evaluation.Visual inspection was performed.The guidewire was missing its tip, had a broken segment separated from the main body, and had a region of open coil.Dimensional testing was performed.The overall length was measured to be 42.6cm, the open coil region was 37.4-39.6cm from the stiff end, the breakage occurred at 40.7cm from the stiff end, and the broken segment was 0.8cm long.The outer diameter could not be measured due to the state of the device.The complaint can be confirmed for guidewire separation based on the state of the returned device.The exact root cause cannot be determined.He 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 fmea.
