Manufacturer Narrative
|
The complainant was unable to provide the lot number.Therefore, the manufacture and expiration dates are unknown.Problem code 2981 for the reportable issue of distal tip bent.Block h10: investigation results: a visual examination of the returned complaint device revealed that the balloon did not have any visual defects and was looked normal.The catheter was noted to be kinked towards the distal section.Functional evaluation was performed by attaching the device into an alliance inflation system, the balloon was inflated without problem; there were no leaks, holes, pinholes noted and the balloon was able to hold the pressure.The catheter outer diameter was measured at three locations and were found to be within specifications.This failure is likely due to factors or conditions related to the procedure that could have affected its performance and its intended purpose, such as the handling of the device during initial use, set-up, or shortly thereafter.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.A manufacturing batch record review was unable to be performed as the lot number is unknown.However, a ship history review was performed to identify the most probable lots, and a device history record (dhr) review on the most probable lots did not identify any deviations within manufacturing/service processes that could have contributed to the event.
