    (B)(4). SIMILAR TO DEVICE UNDER 510(K): P070016. SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATIONAL FINDINGS: AS NO IMAGING WAS PROVIDED, IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE MOST LIKELY ROOT CAUSE OF THE VESSEL RUPTURE WAS THE INTRODUCTION OF THREE DEVICES THROUGH A HIGHLY CALCIFIED VESSEL AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. AS STATED IN THE IFU, VESSELS THAT ARE SIGNIFICANTLY CALCIFIED SHOULD BE CAREFULLY EVALUATED TO ASSURE SUCCESSFUL SHEATH INTRODUCTION AND SUBSEQUENT WITHDRAWAL. ARTERIAL CONDUIT TECHNIQUE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AND MAY BE NEEDED IN SOME PATIENTS, DEPENDING ON DISEASE STATE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT THE DEVICE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS, OR THAT THE IFU WAS NOT SUFFICIENT. COOK MEDICAL WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR SIMILAR EVENTS.
