This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to update section and to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device was returned for evaluation.Visual inspection revealed that the guidewire lumen tore and the guidewire came out from tore point.After washing the involved device, observed was one crushed and one kinked parts.The guide wire lumen was torn from the exit port toward the tip.Inspection on split part of the guidewire lumen was enlarged and observed and found that it was splitting from the inside to the outside of the lumen in the guidewire lumen.The manufacturing records of the reported lot were reviewed with no findings.Visual inspection is conducted to all products prior to shipping.A review of all incoming inspection of the raw materials was conducted with no findings.Functional testing was conducted using a priorityon, 30-6100 (ug1602/uelt-6fgc-140-rx-st).Guiding catheter is fixed in ptca trainer as its tip is positioned in lca ostia.After fitting y connector to the proximal end of guiding catheter,.014" guide-wire is inserted as its tip is positioned in lad.All procedures are performed in 37c water.Priorityone is advanced over.014" guide-wire until its distal 15 cm or so protrudes from guiding-catheter tip.Then, keeping guide-wire in place, priorityone is retrieved into the guiding catheter.After having tried it several times, we found a loop of guide-wire that was formed between gw-lumen exit of priority and distal end of guiding catheter, and operator felt resistance on priorityone.A.When a loop was formed on guide-wire, priorityone continued to be retrieved against resistance.B.Gw-lumen began to be torn from the proximal port of it.C.Gw-lumen was torn over the whole length, and distal tip became torn off.Quite similar breakage was observed on the sample in this simulation test.In addition, the split of the guidewire lumen reached the tip by progression, and the tip was separated.There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.Although the exact cause cannot be determined based on the available information, it is likely that the aspiration catheter was pulled, leaving the guide-catheter and guide-wire in place.A loop was formed on the guide-wire, and resistance was felt against withdrawal.The looped guide-wire made the gw-lumen tube become torn, and the aspiration catheter and guide-wire became stuck in guide-catheter.The ifu states - direction for use important safety instructions warnings: never advance or withdraw an intravascular device against resistance until the cause of the resistance is determined by fluoroscopy.Movement of the catheter or guidewire against resistance may result in separation of the catheter or guidewire tip, damage to the catheter, or vessel perforation.
