Additional Manufacturer Narrative

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 device damage because a sample was not returned for assessment.Without a sample, the exact root cause cannot be determined.The likely root cause is the user encountered resistance during insertion and prevented advancement of the sheath.The sheath and guidewire were likely kinked during insertion and this led to the guidewire unravelling during removal.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 the risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the hazard based risk table (hbrt).
