since the product was not returned, we were unable to evaluate the device.Potential causes of the reported issue could be an obstruction within the inner lumen or restriction (kink) within the iab catheter, guidewire and/or inner lumen that prevented passage of the guide wire.The fact that two different 0.025-inch guidewires became stuck within the same catheter, while an alternative manufacturer's catheter functioned normally under the same procedural conditions, suggests the issue was likely specific to the affected device.Based on the available information and without the return of the device we are unable to confirm the exact cause of the reported failure mode of not being able to to insert the guidewire though the iab.No decon or visual inspection performed since product was not returned and could not be evaluated.The failure mode is addressed in the risk file and is operating within its risk profile.The ifu addresses the reported failure.The investigation does not indicate that the device was inadvertently released as non-conforming or an adulterated product or was a counterfeit.The complaint history review did not identify an adverse trend.Based on the rationality provided above, no escalation to the capa process is required.
