(b)(4).The actual device was not returned; however, the customer provided three photos for analysis.The complaint of the insertion needles being bent was able to be confirmed by the photos.Three introducer needle/ars assemblies were pictured.All introducer needles had bends in the needle cannula.Signs of use in the form of biological material were observed.It was noted that all three of the samples were from the same lot number (71f25k0352).The instructions for use (ifu) provided with this kit warns the user, "do not use excessive force when introducing guidewire or tissue dilator as this can lead to vessel perforation, bleeding, or component damage".The customer report of a bent needle was confirmed by visual inspection of the customer supplied photos.Based on the images and evidence of use observed, the root cause cannot be determined at this time.A non-conformance was initiated to further investigate this issue.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
