(b)(4).The customer report of a kinked guide wire was confirmed by visual inspection of the customer supplied photo.However, full complaint verification testing could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.A device history record review could not be performed as no lot number was provided and a potential lot could not be identified from a sales history review.Without the device to evaluate, the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
