A review of the device history records was performed for the indicated packaging and component lots for any deviations related to the reported defect of the complaint.The review confirms that the lots met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The june 2019 angiodynamics complaint report was reviewed for the mini sticks product family and the failure mode "guidewire fractured/migrated." no adverse trend was identified.As the guidewire from the reported event is a purchased device for angiodynamics, it was returned to the supplier, heraeus medical components for evaluation and completion of a supplier corrective action request (scar).Heraeus' review of their device history records confirmed that all units were properly assembled and inspected and were sent within specification and met quality requirements successfully.The returned sample was evaluated and found to be within specification.As the reported issue has been determined not to be the result of a manufacturing defect, it was likely generated during use/in the field.(b)(4).
