This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide the device return date in section d9, update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.One r2p sheath and dilator were returned for assessment.The sample was subjected to visual analysis.The dilator is fully inserted into the sheath.The sheath coil is separated 16.5cm from the sheath tip.The coil is separating from the sheath coating.One r2p sheath and dilator were returned for assessment, and the sheath was separated near the sheath tip.The complaint can be confirmed for a sheath separation.The exact root cause cannot be determined.The likely cause is the sheath was withdrawn during resistance due to patient spasm.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed.The review determined the process was performed and completed in accordance with terumo medical corporation specifications and procedures and the device was released in a conforming state.Currently, no action is recommended since the risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the hazard based risk table (hbrt).
