This report is being submitted as follow up no.2 to provide the completed investigation results.One 5fr sheath and dilator were returned for evaluation.The sheath and dilator were returned in their original manufacturing positions in the original packaging.The packaging had been opened as the seals were not intact.The sheath and the dilator were removed from the original packaging.The sheath was visibly kinked 7.2365" from the distal tip, and, after removal from the sheath, the dilator was visibly kinked 3.3885" from the distal tip.There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.Based on the investigation results, it is likely that the application of off axis forces may have caused the reported event.However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.
