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 conquest dilatation catheter was returned for evaluation.The balloon was noted to be partially inflated.No other anomalies were noted during the visual evaluation.In the functional testing, the balloon was attempted to aspirate with the in-house presto inflation device, but it was unsuccessful.Further, the balloon was cut and, under the magnification, it was noted that the glue bullet was noted to be stuck within the catheter.Therefore, the investigation into the reported inflation issue remains inconclusive as the functional testing for the inflation couldn¿t be performed due to the condition of the device returned for evaluation.However, the investigation was confirmed for the identified deflation issue as the balloon couldn¿t be aspirated during the functional testing.During the microscopic observation, the glue bullet was noted within the catheter, which might have led to the reported inflation issue and identified deflation issue.However, definitive root cause for the e reported inflation issue and identified deflation issue 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.(expiration date: 01/2025).
