Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing review: the device history records have been reviewed and this lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.This is the only complaint reported to date for this lot number and failure mode.Investigation summary: the device was returned inserted through the user's introducer sheath for evaluation.A visual inspection device found a complete break to the proximal weld joint of the balloon.Additionally, the sheath tip was noted to be flared.Therefore, the investigation is confirmed for a complete break of the proximal balloon joint, as well as for sheath-related retraction issues.Based on the condition of the returned sample condition, it is likely that resistance was encountered by the user leading to breakage of the proximal weld joint as the device was being withdrawn through the sheath.However, the definitive root cause for the identified retraction issues could not be identified based on the available information.Labeling review: the review of the ifu (instructions for use), indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, and contraindications showed that the product labeling is adequate.The information provided by bard 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 bard.
