Investigation ¿ evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, documentation, manufacturer¿s instruction, quality control, and a visual inspection of the returned device were conducted during the investigation.The visual inspection of the returned package confirmed that one used coons interventional wire guide was returned for investigation.Upon further inspection of the device, it was noted that the mandril was protruding at approximately 2cm from the proximal end of the wire.No other damage was noted on the returned device.Additionally, a document based investigation evaluation was performed.There is no evidence to suggest the product was not made to specifications.A review of the device history record showed one nonconforming event which could potentially contribute to this failure mode.This nonconformance was noted for broken wires.While potentially related to the reported failure, the affected units were scrapped and not replaced prior to order completion.It should also be noted there were no other reported complaints for this lot number.Furthermore, reviews of the manufacturer¿s instructions and quality control procedures were conducted, and no gaps were discovered.Based on the information provided and the examination of the returned product, investigation has concluded that a root cause for this event could not be established.We will continue our monitoring of similar complaints and have notified the appropriate personnel of this event.Per the quality engineering risk assessment no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
