This report is being sent as follow-up no.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 can be confirmed for sheath damage based on the photo provided by the account.Without a sample, the exact root cause cannot be determined.It is possible the sheath was damaged during the procedure and caused the sheath to tear during removal.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 hazard based risk table (hbrt).
