This report is being sent as follow-up no.1 to update section d4 udi and to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted, however, a photo was provided by the account.The complaint can be confirmed for a sheath separation based on the photo provided by the account.Without a sample, the exact root cause cannot be determined.The likely root cause is the user encountered resistance during withdraw from plaque or a spasm that caused the sheath to separate.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).
