The physician's full name was not provided to bsc.We completed a good faith effort to obtain the information, but it was not available.It was indicated that the device will not be returned for evaluation.Once investigation is complete, a supplemental medwatch will be filed.Investigation summary: with all the available information, boston scientific is unable to confirm cause of the reported clinical observation of coating issue.The device has not been received for analysis; therefore, a technical analysis of the complaint device could not be completed.Device history record review: it was confirmed this device met specification prior to distribution and there were no manufacturing deviations which could have contributed to the reported event.Device technical analysis: it was indicated that the device was disposed; therefore, a technical analysis of the complaint device could not be completed.Risk assessment: a risk review performed for the versacross access solution device confirmed that the event of coating issue is a known event defined in the product's risk management documentation.This event type has been accounted for during product risk analysis to support acceptable risk benefit for the product.Product risk benefit includes consideration of risk severity and rate, and the overall residual risk of the versacross access solution device is acceptable.Labeling review: based on the information provided, there is no evidence that the device was used in a manner inconsistent with the labelled indications/instructions for use (ifu).Investigation conclusion: the device has not been returned to bsc for analysis and no media has been provided.The information available is insufficient to determine the root cause, although it suggests it was related to the device itself.Cause linked to device but unable to trace more specifically was therefore selected.Potential causes include physician technique and the inherent step-up from the insulation in the rfw design.
