Manufacturer Narrative

The device involved in the incident was not returned for evaluation.A video provided by the customer shows intermittent ballooning of the venous extension immediately below the overmolded protective sleeve while flushing the catheter.The video was sent to contract manufacturer and a review of the manufacture records was requested.The contract manufacturer conducted a review of the manufacture records for the lot number reported.Their review showed the device was manufactured according to specification with no non-conformances or abnormalities.While the video did confirm the complaint an evaluation of the device cannot be conducted without inspection of the actual device.Without an evaluation of the device a definitive root cause cannot be determined.The extension tubing may have been over pressurized causing the silicone material to weaken.This led to the ballooning of the extension when it was flushed.Based on historic data this is not a systemic issue and is considered an isolated incident.Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.
