Block h6: imdrf device code a040601 captures the reportable investigation result of cutting wire kinked.Block h11: (investigation result) - the returned stonetome was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the cutting wire was kinked.Additionally, the pierce holes were misaligned causing the cutting wire not being aligned with the working length.No other problems with the device were noted.After analysis of the returned device, it was determined that the cutting wire was kinked.These conditions could have been generated due to the device manipulation during its insertion-removal, hitting it against a hard surface (scope).Additionally, the pierce holes were misaligned causing the cutting wire not being aligned with the working length compromising proper device functionality.The specific cause of these conditions could not be determined.An investigation to address this problem is in progress.Based on all gathered information, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed.The review of the dhr identified that there were no process related non-conformances, scrap, or rework performed during the production that could explain the event.The reviews ensure each device meets specification prior to release for use.There is no indication the device manufacturing process contributed to the reported complaint.
