This report is being sent as follow-up no.1 to provide the additional information in section b5 and to provide the completed investigation results.One 7fr ds sheath was returned for assessment at terumo medical corporation.The sheath was subjected to visual analysis.It was separated from the hub, with the coil stretched out in the separated region until it connects with the other half of the sheath.The complaint can be confirmed for sheath separation based on the status of the returned device.The exact root cause could not be determined.The likely root cause of the sheath separation is that the sheath experienced high tensional forces during withdrawal from the patient's femoral artery, causing it to separate.The device history record (dhr) review determined that the device was in a conforming state when released from terumo control.There is no indication that any manufacturing, design, or quality system issues may have led to this event.Currently, no action is recommended since this risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the failure mode and effects analysis (fmea)/hazard based risk table (hbrt).
