Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported that the stopcock of the device was unable to be closed.However, after the product was received and inspection on 26 march 2024, it was found that the device leaked at the stopcock joint which prevented the balloon from properly staying inflated.We are unable to determine if the issue was due to a manufacturing error or resulting from improper handling of the device.It is possible the balloon was deformed as a result of over-inflation or inflating the balloon too rapidly.As the ifu states: slowly inflate the blue common carotid artery balloon with up to 1.5 ml of sterile saline.Do not inflate the internal carotid balloon to any greater volume than is necessary to obstruct blood flow for the internal carotid artery.We have conducted a lot history review and did not find any issues noted in the manufacturing or packaging process that could be related to this issue.All qc tests passed their requirements.
