Manufacturer Narrative
|
Investigation results: visual examination of the returned nephromax balloon catheter revealed that the balloon material had a longitudinal tear starting at the distal markerband and extending proximally along the balloon for a total length of 85 mm.There were no issues identified on the balloon material and the markerband which could potentially have contributed to the tear.It was also noted that the shaft was kinked at 345 mm distal to the strain relief.The most probable root cause classification of this investigation is operational context.This is defined as a complaint that is associated with a product that meets the design & manufacture specification but due to anatomical/procedural factors encountered during the procedure, performance was limited.
