Evaluation summary: the hawkone was returned with a green 0.014" guidewire loaded with the device and the hawkone was attached to a cutter driver.No other ancillary devices were included.The hawkone was inspected and the torque shaft was observed to be bent at an approximate 90 degree angle beneath the strain relief.The distal assembly was curved with the 0.014" guidewire loaded.No tears to the guidewire tubing were noted.The proximal end of the guidewire tubing showed the rim of the tubing stretched out, however not torn.The guidewire was pulled proximally.Resistance was encountered, after approximately 5 cm.It was discovered the segment of the guidewire loaded over the distal assembly was bent at two locations.At the angle of each bend, the guidewire showed the green outer layer of the wire worn away.The bends were approximately 2cm apart.After the bent portion of the guidewire was not loaded in the guidewire tubing of the hawkone, the guidewire could be pulled back and pushed forward with no resistance.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
