(b)(4).The actual device was not returned; however, the customer provided two photos for analysis.The complaint of a kinked guidewire was able to be confirmed by the photos.One photo shows the guidewire in a clinical setting with multiple kinks and bends in the body.A complete visual inspection could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.A device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.The instructions-for-use (ifu) provided with this kit warns the user, "do not apply excessive force in placing or removing catheter or guidewire.Excessive force can cause component damage or breakage.If damage is suspected or withdrawal cannot be easily accomplished, radiographic visualization should be obtained and further consultation requested." without the device to evaluate, the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
