The information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.The complaint of difficult guidewire advancement is confirmed and was determined to be use-related.One 0.018 in.X 50 cm.Nitinol guidewire was returned for evaluation.An initial visual observation revealed abundant blood use residues throughout the returned sample.Slight bends were observed at the distal end of the guidewire.A functional test of attempting to slide a microintroducer over the guidewire revealed the microintroducer would not advance over the distal tip of the guidewire due to the excessive blood residues.A microscopic observation revealed blood use residues and a fibrous substance stuck to the distal end of the guidewire.The complaint of difficulty advancing the guidewire is confirmed and was determined to be caused by excessive blood use residues.This complaint will be recorded for future trending and monitoring purposes.
