Qn#(b)(4).The actual device was not returned; however, the customer provided two photos for analysis.The complaint of a kinked guide wire was able to be confirmed by the photos; however, a complete visual inspection to determine the cause of the damage could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.A device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.The ifu provided with the kit informs the user, "do not use excessive force when introducing guidewire or tissue dilator as this can lead to vessel perforation, bleeding, or component damage".The ifu also states, "place tip of arrow advancer - with 'j' retracted - into the hole in rear of arrow raulerson syringe plunger or introducer needle".Without the device to evaluate, the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
