(b)(4) the customer report of a kinked guide wire was confirmed through complaint investigation of the returned sample.The customer provided one photo and returned one guide wire, the product tray, and the product lidstock for evaluation.The guide wire was returned within the advancer tube and showed evidence of use.Visual inspection of the guide wire revealed several kinks towards the distal end of the body.Microscopic examination confirmed the damage.The distal j-bend was slightly misshapen but intact.Both welds were present and appeared to be full and spherical.The major kinks in the guide wire were located 18mm and 27mm via calibrated ruler from the distal end.The length of the guide wire measured 683mm via calibrated ruler which was within the specifications of 678-688mm per product drawing.The guide wire outer diameter (od) measured 0.84mm via calibrated caliper which was within the specifications of 0.838-0.877mm per product drawing.The returned guide wire was functionally tested per the instructions-for-use (ifu) provided with this kit which states, "advance guidewire into arrow raulerson syringe approximately 10 cm until it passes through syringe valves or into introducer needle." the guide wire was advanced through a lab inventory ars and a lab inventory 18ga introducer needle to func tionally test the guide wire.The guide wire passed through both components with minimal resistance.A manual tug test confirmed the distal and proximal welds were intact.The instructions-for-use (ifu) provided with this kit warns the user, "do not apply excessive force in placing or removing catheter or guidewire.Excessive force can cause component damage or breakage.If damage is suspected or withdrawal cannot be easily accomplished, radiographic visualization should be obtained, and further consultation requested." a device history record review was performed with no relevant findings.Based on these circumstances, unintentional use error likely caused or contributed to this event.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for complaints of this nature.
