Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This report is being sent as follow-up # 1 to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.The complaint cannot be confirmed for sheath separation because a sample was not returned for assessment.Without a sample, the exact root cause could not be determined.The likely root cause is the sheath was attempted to be removed during increased resistance from a patient spasm.Review of device history record (dhr)showed there were no issues noted during manufacture of the product that could have contributed to this complaint condition.Currently no action is recommended since this risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the design failure mode and effects analysis (dfmea).
