Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, prior to use for a peripheral angiogram, a cxi support catheter's tip was "cracked and broken".The device did not make patient contact, and the procedure was successfully completed with another cxi catheter.The patient did not require any additional procedures or experience any adverse effects due to the 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.A visual inspection of the complaint device was also conducted.The complaint device was returned to cook for investigation.The tip was cracked, approximately four-millimeters from the distal tip, but still attached.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device history record found no relevant non-conformances on the final or sub-assembly lots.A review of complaint history found no additional complaints for this lot number, or any other lot manufactured and checked by the same personnel, during the same week, as the complaint device.There has been no increase in the occurrence of this failure mode; therefore, cook has determined that this is an isolated event.The customer followed relevant instructions in the ifu (instructions for use).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 investigation of the returned device suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured out of specification; however, there is no evidence of additional non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that manufacturing and quality control deficiencies contributed to this event.Responsible personnel were notified.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.
