Manufacturer Narrative

Block h3: the angiosculpt device was returned for evaluation.Visual inspection found no unusual characteristics of the device.During functional testing, using an indeflator filled with green color dye water, the device was pressurized to nominal (8 atm) and a leak was observed at the distal tip.No balloon rupture was detected.Block h6: a balloon rupture could not be confirmed.However, a leak was observed at the distal tip caused by a damaged inner lumen.All units are 100% leak tested during the manufacturing build; therefore, it is likely the inner lumen was damaged during use when backloading the guide wire.Additionally, medical device problem code was corrected from 1546 (material rupture) to 1310 (inflation problem).Submission of this report does not, in itself, represent a conclusion by the manufacturer and/or authorized representative or the national competent authority that the content of this report is complete or accurate, that the medical device(s) listed failed in any manner and/or that the medical device(s) caused or contributed to an alleged death or deterioration in the state of the health of any person.
