Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was performed only by the pictures provided with this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.Our review of the photos provided confirmed the report of wire guide coating damage.Three photos were provided showing the distal end of the sphincterotome with the wire guide advanced.The coating of the wire guide is damaged with portion of the coating peeled proximal to the ide port and distal to the tip of the sphincterotome exposing the core wire.However, it cannot be determined if any portion of the wire guide coating has detached using the photos provided.A photo of the lot number was not provided.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: our evaluation of the images provided confirmed the report of coating damage.However, we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.If additional pressure is applied to the wire guide and/or accessory device(s) while moving the wire guide inside the accessory device(s), this could contribute to wire guide coating damage.Prior to distribution, all acrobat® 2 calibrated tip wire guides are subjected to a visual inspection and functional testing to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.Corrective action is not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.
