Visual inspection, dimensional analysis and functional testing were performed on the returned device.The reported separation was confirmed.The reported difficult to remove was not unable to be replicated in a testing environment.Production record and corrective and preventive actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed there is no indication of a lot of specific issue.Based on the information provided and the observations from the returned analysis, a definitive cause for the reported issue could not be determined; however, the subsequent treatment appear to be related to operational context of the procedure.Factors that may contribute to difficulty removing the guide wire include, but are not limited to, inner diameter of the device used with the guide wire, outer diameter of the guide wire, device support, buildup of procedural contaminants, challenging anatomy, user technique, and/or damage to the other device used with the guide wire or guide wire which likely led to the reported polymer separation.Based on the results of the complaint investigation, there is no indication a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling of the device.
