description of event: as reported, during an unknown procedure, a performer introducer accordioned/developed a small tear ¿during exchanges¿.A photo provided by the customer shows a possible small tear at the tip of the sheath.There has been no report that the patient required additional procedures or experienced any adverse effects due to this event.Additional information was requested; however, a response was not received.Reviews of documentation including the complaint history, device history record (dhr), quality control procedures, and instructions for use (ifu) were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned to cook for investigation; however, a photo was provided by the customer, showing a tear at the distal tip of the sheath.The dilator was inside of the sheath.Cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to specification.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the dhr for the reported complaint device lot and the related subassembly lots revealed no recorded discrepancies relevant to the failure mode.A complaint history search identified no other events reported for the related failure mode.Based on the available information, cook has concluded that there is no evidence suggesting nonconforming product exists either in-house or in the field.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The ifu packaged with the device contains the following in relation to the reported failure mode: ¿when puncturing, suturing or incising the tissue near the introducer, use caution to avoid damaging the introducer.¿
based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a definitive cause for the event cannot be determined.The photo provided by the customer shows a tear in distal sheath tip.The dilator was inside of the sheath.It is likely that the tear occurred during insertion of the device into the patient; however, there is insufficient evidence to confirm if factors such as patient anatomy or difficult advancement contributed to the event.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
