Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing review: a manufacturing review was not required as this is the only complaint reported to date for this product and lot.Investigation summary: one luntonix 035 drug coated balloon loaded with a unknown guidewire and unknown sheath has returned for evaluation.The distal tip of the sheath noted to be buckled.No other specific anomalies noted.The balloon was cut, and bunching was noted the proximal and distal end of the balloon.The catheter was cut, and it was noted an opaque material bunched up within the guidewire lumen.No functional testing performed due to the condition of the device returned for evaluation and the balloon was also punctured by the user facility.All the anomalies noted on the microscopic observation.Therefore, the investigation for the reported deflation issue remains inconclusive as no functional testing performed due to condition of device.The investigation for the reported difficult to advance and device-device incompatibility remains inconclusive as no functional testing performed due to condition of device.However, the investigation was confirmed for the reported difficult to remove as the device returned in a condition like loaded and noted be stuck within the unknown guide wire and unknown sheath.The investigation was also confirmed for the identified material separation as opaque material bunched up within the guidewire lumen, when the catheter cut during the evaluation.During the evaluation of the returned device opaque material was observed within the inner guide wire lumen most likely contributed by advancement of guide wire into the catheter.However definitive root cause for the reported deflation issue, difficult to advance, device-device incompatibility, difficult to remove and identified material separation could not be determined based upon the provided information.Labeling review: a review of product labeling documentation (e.G., procedural instructions, indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, contraindications, nursing guide, and unit label) did not find any product labeling inadequacy.D4 (expiry date: 01/2024).H11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
