Manufacturer Narrative

Summary of event: it was reported that a plastic piece of a cook bakri postpartum balloon was found in a patient's uterus during a 4 week postpartum follow-up visit.The device was originally placed transabdominally immediately following delivery 4-weeks prior to the discovery.Date of device placement is unknown.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the instructions for use (ifu), and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned to cook for investigation.Cook could not complete a review of the device history record or complaint history due to a lack of lot information from the user facility.A review of relevant manufacturing documents was conducted.It was concluded that the device aspect in question was functionally inspected by quality control and no notable gaps in production or processing controls were noted.There is no indication that a design or process related failure mode contributed to the reported event.Current controls for manufacturing are in place to assure functionality and device integrity prior to shipping.Review of the relevant manufacturing documents does not indicate that the device was manufactured out of specification and does not suggest items in the lot or similar devices in the field or in house are nonconforming.The instructions for use (ifu) provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: transabdominal placement, post-cesarean section."1.Determine uterine volume by direct examination." "2.From above, via access of the cesarean incision, pass the tamponade balloon, inflation port first, through the uterus and cervix." "note: remove and stopcock to aid in placement and reattach prior to filling balloon." "3.Have an assistant pull the shaft of the balloon through the vaginal canal until the deflated balloon base comes into contact with the internal cervical ostium." "4.Close the incision per normal procedure, taking care to avoid puncturing the balloon while suturing." "note: ensure that all product components are intact and the hysterotomy is securely sutured prior to inflating the balloon.If clinically relevant, the abdomen may remain open upon inflation of the balloon to closely monitor uterine distention and confirm the hysterotomy close." "note: if clinically relevant, a b-lynch compression suture may be used in conjunction with the bakri postpartum balloon." based upon the available information and results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a definitive cause of the reported incident could not be determined.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
