Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, during a procedure involving percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the common femoral artery, a micropuncture transitionless access set's outer sheath separated.Resistance was encountered upon insertion of the device into the patient.The device was removed safely, and another device of the same type was used to complete the procedure.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), 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 outer sheath/catheter was separated at approximately 1.7-centimeters from the hub.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.No related non-conformances or additional complaints were found on the final lot number.Three non-conformances were noted on sub-assembly lots; however, all affected product was scrapped, there are 100% inspections in place to capture the non-conformance, and no additional complaints have been received from the field.A supplier investigation was conducted.There are no indications that the supplier¿s manufacturing process contributed to this failure mode.The product ifu states ¿do not attempt to insert or withdraw the wire guide and/or introducer if resistance is felt.¿ the information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, ifu, and investigation of the returned device suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured to specification.There is no evidence of non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Although three relevant non-conformances were noted on sub-assembly lots, all non-conforming product was scrapped, there are 100% inspections in place to capture this non-conformance, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot-related complaints have been received from the field.Therefore, it was concluded that there is no evidence that non-conforming product exists 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 component failure, unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies, contributed to this incident.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.
