As reported, during a procedure involving insertion of a hemodialysis catheter, a micropuncture transitionless access set¿s wire ¿sheared¿.Per the reporter, resistance was not encountered upon insertion of the wire; however, some resistance was noted upon removal.Reportedly, the physician was gentle and removed the wire and needle together when resistance was encountered, losing access; however, the wire elongated and unraveled.A second mpis set was used to successfully complete the procedure.Wire fragmentation was not reported.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures or experience any adverse effects due to this event.

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, during a procedure involving insertion of a hemodialysis catheter, a micropuncture transitionless access set¿s wire ¿sheared¿.Per the reporter, resistance was not encountered upon insertion of the wire; however, some resistance was noted upon removal.Reportedly, the physician was gentle and removed the wire and needle together when resistance was encountered, losing access; however, the wire elongated and unraveled.A second mpis set was used to successfully complete the procedure.Wire fragmentation was not reported.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures or experience any adverse effects due to this event.Corrected information: d4 = udi.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned to cook for investigation.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.The product ifu states ¿do not attempt to insert or withdraw the wire guide and/or introducer if resistance is felt.Withdrawal or manipulation of the distal spring coil portion of the mandril wire guide through a needle tip may result in breakage.¿ 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, and ifu suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured to specification.There is no evidence of non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a component failure, unrelated to manufacturing or design, contributed to this event.Although resistance was reported, it is unknown if the user pulled the wire back through the needle, and details of the anatomy are unknown.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.
