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 can be confirmed since medical intervention was used to treat the hematoma and pseudo aneurysm.The exact root cause cannot be confirmed.The likely root cause is failure to adequately monitor the patient's condition.The dhr review determined that the device was in a conforming state when released from terumo control.There is no indication that any manufacturing issues may have led to this event.Currently no action is recommended since this risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the fmea.
