Manufacturer Narrative

The balloon of a 5f mynx control vascular closure device (vcd) popped prior to insertion into the sheath while prepping it.There was no reported patient injury.The product was returned for analysis.A non-sterile mynx control vcd 5f was returned for investigation inside a clear plastic bag.Per visual analysis both button 1 and button 2 were not depressed.The syringe was received connected to the device and procedure sheath was not received for evaluation.The stopcock was observed open.The balloon was found fully deflated.In addition, the sealant was found in the manufacturing position fully covered by the sealant sleeves and no damages were noted in the sealant sleeves.Per functional analysis an inflation/deflation test was performed (mynx control instructions for use (ifu),) the results revealed a leak in the balloon of the returned device.Per microscopic analysis a longitudinal tear was noted in the balloon of the return device and the sealant was found in the manufacturing position fully covered by the sealant sleeves and no damages were noted in the sealant sleeves.The reported ¿mynx control balloon-balloon loss of pressure¿ was confirmed through analysis of the returned device.The exact cause of the event could not be determined during analysis.Based on the information available for review, vessel characteristics (although unknown) may have contributed to the event as the presence of calcification is known to cause damage to balloons and a longitudinal tear was found during analysis.According to the instructions for use, which is not intended as a mitigation of risk, users are instructed not to use the device if the balloon does not maintain pressure.Neither the phr review nor the product analysis suggests that the event experienced by the customer could be related to the manufacturing process; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.
