Summary of event: as originally reported, four micropuncture transitionless access set wires were defective, and the wires were "like a spring".Per the initial reporter, three attempts to obtain access failed.Additional information from the customer, received 01nov2022, reported that while micropuncture access was attempted using ultrasound, the wire became caught in the needle, stretched, and was difficult to remove from the patient.Per the reporter, this happened twice on the same patient.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.The complaint devices were not returned to cook for investigation; however, the customer returned six sealed and unused devices from the same lot.The sealed/unused devices were opened and no damage was noted to the devices.The wires were advanced through the needles without difficulty.A review of the device history record found no non-conformances related to the reported failure mode.A review of complaint history records shows no other related complaints associated with the complaint device lot.The product ifu provides the following information: precautions: ¿do not attempt to insert or withdraw the wire guide and/or introducer if resistance is felt.¿ ¿withdrawal or manipulation of the distal spring coil portion of the mandril wire guide through a needle tip may result in breakage.¿ instructions for use: ¿advance the.018-inch wire guide through the introducer needle.Caution: do not withdraw the wire guide through the introducer needle; breakage may result.If the wire guide tip must be withdrawn while the needle is inserted, remove both the needle and the wire as a unit.¿ because there were no related non-conformances, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the device history record was fully executed, and no other related complaints from the lot that have been received from the field, it was concluded that there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in the field.A review of relevant manufacturing and quality control documents were conducted.Cook has concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.The information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, and the ifu, suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured to specification.Cook has concluded that component failure unrelated to manufacturing contributed to this incident.The risk analysis for this failure mode was reviewed and no additional escalation is required.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
