EVENT SUMMARY: AS REPORTED, DURING A RIGHT HEART CATHETERIZATION VIA RIGHT INTERNAL JUGULAR ACCESS, A MICROPUNCTURE TRANSITIONLESS STIFFENED CANNULA ACCESS SET WIRE SHEARED OFF AND WAS LEFT IN THE PATIENT'S TISSUE. THE ACCESS SITE WAS REPORTEDLY SCARRED AND RESISTANCE WAS REPORTED UPON REMOVAL OF THE DEVICE. THE COMPLAINT WIRE GUIDE, WHICH WAS INTENDED TO FACILITATE PLACEMENT OF A LARGER WIRE, WAS REMOVED THROUGH A NEEDLE. THE SEPARATED PORTION OF THE WIRE, WHICH REMAINS IN THE PATIENT'S SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE, MAY POSSIBLY BE REMOVED IN THE FUTURE. THE PATIENT HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS DUE TO THIS OCCURRENCE. INVESTIGATION - EVALUATION: REVIEWS OF THE COMPLAINT HISTORY, DEVICE HISTORY RECORD, DOCUMENTATION, INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (IFU), MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS, AND QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES AND A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE DEVICE WERE CONDUCTED DURING THE INVESTIGATION. ONE USED COPE NITINOL MANDRIL WIRE GUIDE (PMG-18SP-40-COPE-NT) WAS RETURNED. THE COIL END WAS BROKEN AND ELONGATED. THE DISTAL WELD BALL WAS NOT PRESENT. THERE WAS BIO-MATTER PRESENT. A DOCUMENT-BASED INVESTIGATION EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD SHOWS NO FAILURE-RELATED NONCONFORMANCES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO OTHER REPORTED COMPLAINTS FOR THIS LOT NUMBER. THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD REVIEW PROVIDES OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVICE WAS MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF NONCONFORMING DEVICES FROM THE COMPLAINT LOT IN HOUSE OR IN THE FIELD. NO GAPS WERE DISCOVERED IN THE MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS OR QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES FOR THIS DEVICE. COOK HAS CONCLUDED THAT SUFFICIENT CONTROLS ARE IN PLACE TO DETECT THIS FAILURE MODE PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION. THE DEVICE IS PACKAGED WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, WHICH STATE, ¿WHEN INSERTING, MANIPULATING OR WITHDRAWING A DEVICE THROUGH AN INTRODUCER, ALWAYS MAINTAIN INTRODUCER POSITION¿; ¿DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSERT OR WITHDRAW THE WIRE GUIDE AND/OR INTRODUCER IF RESISTANCE IS FELT¿; AND, ¿WITHDRAWAL OR MANIPULATION OF THE DISTAL SPRING COIL PORTION OF THE MANDRIL WIRE GUIDE THROUGH A NEEDLE TIP MAY RESULT IN BREAKAGE.¿ BASED ON THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE, INVESTIGATION HAS CONCLUDED THAT A DEFINITIVE CAUSE FOR THIS EVENT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT PATIENT ANATOMY OR USER TECHNIQUE MAY HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN THIS FAILURE. WE WILL CONTINUE OUR MONITORING OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND HAVE NOTIFIED THE APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL OF THIS EVENT. PER THE QUALITY ENGINEERING RISK ASSESSMENT, NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.
