Manufacturer Narrative

H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, complaint and batch history, applicable previous investigation(s), applicable manufacturing records, photo analysis and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded:
the complaint of difficulty passing the microintroducer over the guidewire was confirmed but the cause is unknown.A returned photograph of a small segment of a guidewire was reviewed as part of this complaint.The end of the wire, which is believed to be the proximal end, appeared to have a slightly larger diameter than the rest of the wire.The exact nature of the damage could not be determined due to the clarity of the photograph.However, the damage appeared to most likely be attributed to misalignment of the guidewire coils.The increase in the effective outer diameter of the wire would have prevented the passage of a microintroducer over the wire.Although the damage to the wire could be confirmed, the exact root cause of the damage could not be determined.A review of the manufacturing records did not find any potentially related issues that were encountered during the manufacture and assembly of the implicated product lot.Potential contributing factors could include attempted insertion of the wire against resistance or manipulation of the wire causing displacement of the coils.
