Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted to provide the completed investigation.One used 8fr peripheral destination device was received for product.After decontamination, the returned sheath and dilator were subjected to visual analysis.The luer of the crosscut valve assembly did not appear secured to the hub of the sheath.There was only approximately one turn of the luer onto the hub.By rotating the assembly clockwise, the luer fit became more secure.Tensile force was then applied and the valve remained attached to the hub of the sheath.A slight quarter turn in the counterclockwise position, loosen the valve enough to replicate the user's issue.There were no other visual anomalies noted with the device.Microscopic pictures were taken of the luer to observe if any additional damage had been sustained which allowed the luer to loosen.No anomalies were found.There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.The exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.However, based on the condition of the returned device, it does not appear that the user followed the ifu instructions to ensure that the valve and the sheath are tightly connected.A quarter turn in the counterclockwise direction easily dislodged the valve.The ifu states "ensure that the valve and the sheath are tightly connected.".
