Exemption number e2019001.Visual and dimensional inspections were performed on the returned guide wire and the reported tip separation was confirmed.The reported entrapment of the device with a stent was unable to be confirmed or replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents and or complaints reported from this lot.There was no damage noted to the guide wire during the inspection prior to use which suggests a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling did not contribute to the reported difficulties.The investigation determined the reported tip separation and embedded tip appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.Based on the reported information, during deployment of the graftmaster stent the guide wire became trapped resulting in the resistance during retraction.Manipulation of the guide wire against resistance resulted in the tip separation and subsequent damages.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
