(b)(4).The customer returned one dilator for analysis.No obvious signs of use were observed.Visual inspection did not reveal any damage or defects on the dilator or dilator tip.Visual analysis of the returned guidewire did not reveal any signs of damage or defects.No signs of use were observed.The dilator length from the hub to the distal tip measured 100mm, which is within the specification limits of 95.2mm-108mm per the dilator product drawing.The dilator inner diameter at the distal tip measured 0.9144mm, which is within the specification limits of 0.91mm - 0.97mm per the dilator product drawing.The outer diameter of the dilator measured 2.82mm, which is within the specification limits of 2.82mm - 2.87mm per dilator extrusion product drawing.The guidewire length measured 600mm, which is within the specification limits of 596mm - 604mm per the guidewire product drawing.The outer diameter of the guidewire measured 0.79mm, which is within the specification limits of 0.788mm - 0.826mm per the guidewire product drawing.The returned guidewire was inserted through the dilator tip.No resistance was encountered, and the guidewire was still able to pass.Performed per ifu statement, "use tissue dilator to enlarge tissue tract to the vein as required.Follow the angle of the guidewire slowly through the skin." a device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.The ifu provided with the kit informs 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 report of the dilator failing to penetrate the tissue and the guidewire being kinked was not confirmed through the complaint investigation.Visual analysis of the dilator and guidewire did not reveal any damage or defects.All relevant dimensional and functional requirements were met, and a device history record review did not reveal any relevant findings to suggest a manufacturing issue.Based on the customer report and analysis of the sample returned, no problem was found.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
