The incident information was reviewed; however, the product was not returned for analysis.A review of the electronic lot history record, corrective action tracking system for the web database review, and similar incident query was not performed because the lot numbers were not reported.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined; however, the subsequent treatments appear to be related to the operational context of the procedure.Reportedly, the guide wire was used in a pulmonary artery procedure.It should be noted that the hi-torque guide wires instructions for use (ifu) states: ¿all hi-torque guide wire are intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (ptca) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta).This guide wire may also be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures.¿ in this case, the deviation possibly contributed to the reported event.The reported patient effect of performation is listed in the hi-torque guide wires ifu as a known patient effect of coronary stenting procedures.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling; therefore, no product-related corrective action will be implemented in this case.
