Summary of event: as reported, during an angioplasty procedure of the right lower leg, a cxi support catheter's tip was broken off.The broken tip was noted upon opening the product packaging.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient.The patient did not experience any adverse effects or require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned to cook for investigation; however, a photo was provided by the customer, showing that the distal tip of the catheter was missing, with material hanging off the end of the device.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device history record found one relevant non-conformance on six devices from a sub-assembly lot; however, all affected product was scrapped, and 100% inspections are in place to capture this non-conformance.A review of complaint history found no additional complaints for the final or sub-assembly lots.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.The information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, ifu, and customer provided photo suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured out of specification; however, cook has concluded that this is an isolated incident.Responsible personnel were notified.Although one relevant non-conformance was noted on a sub-assembly lot, all non-conforming product was scrapped, there are 100% inspections in place to capture this non-conformance, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot-related complaints have been received from the field.Therefore, it was concluded that there is no evidence that additional non-conforming product exists in-house or in the field.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a manufacturing and quality control deficiency contributed to this event.The risk analysis for this failure mode was reviewed and no additional escalation was required.The appropriate personnel have been notified, and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.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.
