Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged or unavailable.Investigation - evaluation: a review of documentation including the complaint history, device history record, drawing, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, quality control and specifications, as well as a visual inspection, dimensional verification, and a functional test of the returned device was conducted during the investigation.One used cope wire was returned for evaluation.A physical examination showed that the wire was unraveled but not separated.The weld ball was intact.An attempt was made to remove the wire from the catheter, however the wire was stuck inside the catheter.The mandril wire was visible.The distal portion of the wire was not unraveled.The undamaged portion of the wire was re-advanced through the dilator, but the failure mode could not be recreated.Dimensions deemed relevant to the failure mode were analyzed and it was found that the device was manufactured within specification.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was conducted.It was concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to release.Risk analysis indicates that the risks associated with the devices are acceptable when weighed against the benefits.A review of the device history record for lot 9855913 found no nonconformances that could have contributed to the failure mode.It should be noted that there were no other complaints reported for this lot number.There is no evidence to suggest that nonconforming product exists in house or in the field.Product labeling was also reviewed.The label attached to the wire guide holder illustrates that withdrawal and/or manipulation of the distal spring coil portion of the wire guide through the needle tip may result in breakage.Based on the information provided, examination of the returned product and the results of our investigation, it was concluded that a component failure without a manufacturing or design issue contributed to the failure mode.It is possible that removing or manipulating the wire within the dilating sheath could have caused the unraveling, but this cannot be confirmed.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Per the quality engineering risk assessment no further action is required.We will continue to monitor for similar complaints.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
