H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.The complaint of a damaged guidewire is confirmed; however, the exact cause is unknown.One photograph of a guidewire was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation of the photograph showed a guidewire detached from the powerglide device.The guidewire was observed to be unraveled indicating the core wire was broken.No use residue or other details of the damage could be discerned in the returned photograph.While the exact cause of the observed damaged guidewire could not be determined from the returned photograph, possible causes of the damaged guidewire include inadvertently advancing guidewire into tissue, advancing/withdrawing against resistance, and excessive tensile (pulling) force.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h11.
