Exemption number e2019001.The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record and complaint history of the reported lot could not be conducted because the lot number was not provided.As there was no damage noted to the sds guide wire during the inspection prior to use, the investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that interaction of devices and/or inadvertent mishandling resulted in the reported material separation.As reported, wire fragments were retrieved.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
