This report is being sent as follow-up no.1 to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.The complaint cannot be confirmed for a sheath kink because a sample was not returned for assessment.Without a sample, the exact root cause cannot be determined.Field clinical was contacted about this complaint and stated it is unlikely the sheath kink was the main cause of the sheath getting stuck, requiring surgical intervention.It is likely the sheath kinked during withdraw and led to a catheter or guidewire getting stuck in the sheath, preventing removal from the vessel.It is also possible the user encountered resistance from tortuosity or calcification in the vessel during withdraw that prevented removal of the sheath.Review of device history record (dhr) showed there were no issues noted during the 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).
