A visual inspection, functional testing, and dimensional analysis was performed on the returned device.The difficult to advance and difficult to remove could not be conformed due to the conditions of the devices and are related to case conditions and cannot be replicated in a lab environment.Production record and corrective and preventative 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 specific issue.Based on the reported information and the observations from the returned analysis, a definitive cause for the reported issue could not be determined.It is possible the guide wire was damaged during insertion and advancement.When the catheter was advanced the damage to the guidewire likely increased the od interfering with the id of the catheter causing the difficult to advance which locked the two units together leading to the difficult to remove.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
