Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, prior to use for an unknown procedure, a bentson straight fixed core wire guide unraveled and the mandril protruded from the device.The damage was noted upon opening and inspecting the wire prior to use, and the device did not make patient contact.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.A visual inspection of the complaint device was also conducted.The complaint device was returned to cook for investigation.The wire was elongated and stretched 3.2-centimeters, starting approximately 8.6-centimeters from the tip.The mandril protruded from the coils.The tip weld and safety wire were present but not caught.The entire wire measured 181.5-centimeters from the tip of the safety wire to the proximal end of the wire.The safety wire spanned the entire length of the wire, suggesting that the safety wire came free from the tip weld.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.No related non-conformances were found.Although one additional complaint was noted on the lot from the same customer, the complaint is associated with a different failure mode.There have been no other relevant failure-related complaints for this lot number.Cook also reviewed all lots checked by the same personnel during the same week as the complaint device, finding no non-conformances or additional complaints on any of the lots.The information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, and investigation of the returned device suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured out of specification; however, there is no evidence of additional non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Cook has concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a manufacturing and quality control deficiency contributed to this event.The responsible personnel were notified.The risk analysis for this failure mode was reviewed and no additional escalation was 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.
