Summary of event: as reported, prior to use while opening the device package, a micropuncture transitionless access set's wire guide popped out of the package, rendering the device useless.Another device of the same type was opened and used to successfully complete the procedure.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.Upon return and initial evaluation of the device, the wire was unraveled.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, specifications, 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.A large portion of the wire was stretched and elongated, starting approximately 6-millimeters from the distal tip.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device history record found no relevant non-conformances on the lot.A review of complaint history found no additional complaints for this lot number.Cook also investigated all lots checked by the same personnel during the same timeframe as the complaint device.No non-conformances or additional complaints were noted on any of the lots.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.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 out of specification; however, there is no evidence of additional non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a quality control deficiency contributed to this event, as the wire unraveled upon opening the packaging.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.
