Investigation ¿ evaluation it was reported that the wire guide from a neff percutaneous access set separated.During a percutaneous transhepatic biliary drain insertion, the intrahepatic duct was punctured with the chiba needle.Then the wire guide was advanced into the intrahepatic duct through the needle and withdrawn as a whole set, however, the wire fractured.Action was taken to immediately retrieve the wire guide.The patient did have some partially tortuous anatomy.As reported, the patient did not experience any adverse effects or require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.Reviews of the documentation, including the complaint history, device history record, drawing, quality control procedures, and specifications of the device were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a physical examination could not be conducted.However, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient controls are in place to detect this failure mode prior to release.A review of the device history record (dhr) for the device found one relevant nonconformance that could have contributed to the reported failure mode, in which two devices were scrapped.It should be noted that there were no other complaints associated with the final product lot number.Cook was unable to review the device labeling, as an ifu pamphlet is not included with the complaint device.However, the wire guide was supplied with an l_scor label indicating to not withdraw or manipulate the wire guide through the needle.Evidence gathered upon review of upon review of the dmr, dhr and no product return, cook was not able to find evidence that the product was manufactured out of specification.There is no evidence of nonconforming product in house or in the field.Based on the information provided, examination of the returned product, and the results of our investigation, it was concluded that a component failure unrelated to manufacturing deficiencies contributed to the reported event.It is possible that if the wire guide was being manipulated in the needle due to patient tortuous anatomy and the wire guide could have become damaged to the point that the device separated.It is possible that the patient¿s tortuous anatomy alone could have led to this event.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.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.
