Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.Corrections: d4: model # = gpn # investigation-evaluation as reported, prior to a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (pcnl) and stent implantation procedure, the nurse removed the 'roadrunner nimble hydrophilic wire guide' from the packaging and found the wire guide had unraveled and was broken.The user changed to another wire guide to complete the procedure.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional intervention due to this occurrence.The patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), and quality control (qc) procedures were conducted during the investigation.Visual inspection of the returned complaint device was also conducted.One roadrunner nimble hydrophilic wire guide was returned for investigation, in opened packaging was returned for investigation.The wire guide slid free from protector without issue.The wire guide jacket has pulled apart 4.2cm from tip.The point of separation is clean and even.The wire has partially unraveled.Cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to specification.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the device history record (dhr) found no related non-conformances reported for lot.A complaint history database search showed no other related complaints associated with the failure mode for the complaint device lot.Because there are no related non-conformances, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot related complaints that have been received from the field, it was concluded that there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in field.Cook also reviewed product labeling; the ifu supplied with the device states the following in consideration of the reported failure mode: instructions for activating hydrophilic coating: the hydrophilic coating on the wire guide is activated by immersion in sterile water or sterile saline solution.1.Prior to using the wire guide, fill a syringe with sterile water or sterile saline solution and attach it to the flushing port on the wire guide.2.Inject enough solution to wet the wire guide surface entirely.This will activate the hydrophilic coating.Based upon the available information and results of the investigation, cook has concluded that the cause for the complaint could not be established.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
