Manufacturer Narrative

Product analysis summary: one everest inflation device returned for analysis.No damage was noted to the syringe body, tube joints or manometer housing.As received the gauge needle was at approx.0 atm.Using an inhouse stopcock, the device was pressurized with water.The gauge needle moved steadily to 30 atm and the device held pressure for a minimum of three minutes (with max 10% loss), meeting specification.Upon release of pressure the gauge needle dropped to approx.0 atm.When vacuum was applied, the gauge needle moved into the red "vac" reading.An in-house euphora device was inflated, using the returned device, to a nominal of 12atm and burst rate of 14atm with no issues noted.No other damage evident to the remainder of the device.Standalone medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
