The reported guidewire was received for analysis.The initial visual and tactile examination of the guidewire indicated that the distal core wire was fractured.There was no other damage revealed with the guidewire that would have contributed to the reported event.The fractured shaft sections underwent scanning electron microscope (sem) analysis, which revealed the presence of torsional stresses on the fracture face of the core wire.At the conclusion of the device analysis, the reported event was confirmed.However, the root cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.(b)(4).
