    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: THE VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE GUIDEWIRE REVEALED THAT THE PEBAX SECTION WAS PEELED. PRESENCE OF ADHESIVE REMNANTS WAS FOUND INDICATING THAT THE PEBAX WAS PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE COREWIRE AT SECTION PEELED. NO EVIDENCE OF COREWIRE FRACTURED. THE PTFE JACKET DID NOT PRESENT ANY ANOMALY. THE COMPLAINT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE RETURN THAT THE DISTAL TIP WAS DETACHED EXPOSING THE TIP OF THE METAL COREWIRE. BASED ON ALL GATHERED INFORMATION, THE MOST PROBABLE ROOT CAUSE IS "HANDLING DAMAGE." SINCE THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS COMPLAINT DEVICE, A CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN INITIATED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. A DHR (DEVICE HISTORY RECORD) REVIEW WAS PERFORMED AND NO DEVIATION WAS FOUND.
