    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    WHEN THE PHYSICIAN TOOK OUT THE SGW .014 STABILIZER 1 GUIDEWIRE FROM THE PACKAGE, HE FOUND THE COIL WAS STRETCHED. ANOTHER STABILIZER WAS OPENED AND THE SAME FAILURE WAS OBSERVED. THE GUIDEWIRES WERE NOT CLINICALLY USED INSIDE THE PATIENT. A THIRD DEVICE WAS USED TO COMPLETE THE PROCEDURE SUCCESSFULLY. THE COMPLAINT PRODUCTS WERE NOT HANDLED IN ANY WAY BEFORE THE REPORTED EVENT WAS FOUND AND WERE STORED AT THE FACILITY PER IFU. THERE WAS ALSO NO DAMAGE TO THE PACKAGING. ONE-NON STERILE GUIDE WIRE SGW .014 STABILIZER 180CM WAS RECEIVED COILED INSIDE OF A PLASTIC BAG. THE RECEIVED GUIDE WIRE PRESENTED AN UNRAVELED CONDITION AT THE COIL DISTAL TIP AS WELL AS A BENT. NO OTHER ANOMALIES WERE OBSERVED ON THE RECEIVED UNIT. THE RECEIVED GUIDE WIRE WAS OBSERVED UNDER A MICROSCOPE AND NO DAMAGES WERE FOUND RATHER THAN THE UNRAVELED AND BENT CONDITIONS OBSERVED DURING VISUAL ANALYSIS. (B)(4). THE REPORTED FAILURE BY THE COSTUMER AS 'GUIDE WIRE - UNRAVELED/STRETCHED' COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED FOR ONE PRODUCT SINCE NO ANOMALIES OR DAMAGES WERE OBSERVED DURING THE PRODUCT ANALYSIS. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED IN THE SECOND RETURNED PRODUCT. THE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGES FOUND ON THIS DEVICE COULD NOT BE CONCLUSIVELY DETERMINED, BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MANUFACTURING RELATED. NEITHER THE PRODUCT ANALYSES NOR THE DHR REVIEWS SUGGEST THAT THE EVENTS COULD BE RELATED TO THE GUIDE WIRE MANUFACTURING PROCESS; THEREFORE, NO CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL BE TAKEN AT THIS TIME. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS ONE OF TWO PRODUCTS INVOLVED WITH THE REPORTED ADVERSE EVENTS AND IS ASSOCIATED MANUFACTURER REPORT NUMBERS 1016427-2012-00095 AND 1016427-2012-00096.
