Block h6: imdrf device code a050701captures the reportable event of wire was unable to release the bow.Block h11: investigation results the returned jagtome revolution rx was analyzed, and a visual and microscopic inspection found no damage to the catheter.It was found that the cutting wire was not crimped to the connector joint strength.As a result, during attempts to bow or unbow, the cutting wire detached from the working length.No other problems with the device were noted.With all the available information, boston scientific corporation (bsc) concludes the reported event of cutting wire failure to release bow (unbow) was confirmed.During analysis of the returned device, it was determined that the cutting wire did not have evidence of crimping and was not crimped to the connector joint strength at the handle section during the manufacturing process.The investigation findings and all information available concludes the most probable root cause is manufacturing deficiency.A non-conforming events prevention (ncep) investigation was completed to address this problem.The ncep investigation concluded that the referenced event was an isolated event due to human error during manufacturing.A review of the manufacturing process found it likely that a step in the procedure was omitted.The step in which the operator assembles the cutting wire and confirms it is properly positioned was not performed correctly.All applicable product builders were made aware of the event and the procedure was reviewed by all applicable product builders to heighten awareness of the requirements outlined in this manufacturing process.As part of the ncep investigation, a risk assessment was performed.Wire failure to release bow (unbow) is a known and anticipated, potential failure mode outlined in the device risk documentation, and the severity is considered moderate, with an anticipated clinical effect of prolonged procedure.The risk assessment confirmed that the observed severity (harm) and occurrence rankings are within with the anticipated risk level documented in risk documentation, and the risk is acceptable.The investigation is complete and the ncep was closed in october 2024.Bsc will continue to monitor and trend these complaints and associated risks as outlined in our quality systems process.
