Block h6: medical device problem code a0401 captures the reportable event of cutting wire broken.Block h10: the returned dreamtome rx 44 and its preloaded guidewire were analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the distal tip of the autotome and the distal tip (pebax) of the dreamwire guidewire were cut with a sharp object, consistent with the findings when the device was observed under magnification.The cut distal tip was not returned.No other problems with the device were noted.The reported event of cutting wire break could not be confirmed.Upon analysis, the returned device was incomplete.The cut distal tip portion of the tome and the guidewire was not returned for analysis to identify any problem with the device.Without proper evaluation to the distal tip of the device, it remains unknown what are the most probable causes that contributed to the event.Since the investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the cause of the reported adverse event, the most probable root cause of this complaint is cause not established.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.
