E1-initial reporter address 1: (b)(6) hospital (b)(6).Investigation results: the complaint device was received for product analysis.During visual inspection, the device was returned split in two pieces and with the wireclip torquer.The body of the guidewire was kinked.Microscopic inspection observed a kink in the spring tip.The total length of the guidewire was measured and found to be 130.0 inches.According to the specifications, the acceptable length range is 130.0 inches plus or minus 1.0 inch, with an upper limit of 131.0 inches and a lower limit of 129.0 inches.This means that the overall length was between the specification established on the drawing.Additionally, the distance where the detachment was found is at 53.4 inches.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.Device history record (dhr) review: it was confirmed that this device met manufacturing specification prior to distribution and there no manufacturing deviations which could have contributed to the reported event.Investigation conclusion: this investigation has been assigned an investigation conclusion code of adverse event related to patient condition.This conclusion is supported by the following objective evidence regarding the reported issue of guidewire kinked and the additional failure.Based on the information provided and analysis performed, it is most likely the presence of reported anatomical factors, presented a constriction over the device and increase the friction when the device was advancing through the lesion reducing the mobility and generating the reported issue and additional failure.Batch record review concluded that no manufacturing deviations were identified during the manufacturing process which could have contributed to the reported issue.
