Internal file number: (b)(4).Evaluation summary: the device was returned for analysis.The reported detachment of device component was able to be confirmed.The reported device operates differently than expected/noise was unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.The indeflator was sent to scanning electron microscopy for further analysis.The results noted the tabs on the complaint device were documented and compared to the tabs on the damaged and good proxy devices.The tabs on the complaint and damaged proxy device appeared bent.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the leak appears to be a potential product quality issue.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.
