Manufacturer Narrative

After further review of additional information received the following sections g4, g7, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.As reported, the 2.5mm x 30cm x 150cm saber percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter (bc) has a defect on the shaft.There was a hole in the outer layer on the device.The defect was noted when the inner package was opened.There was no reported patient injury.The device was not used for a patient.The device was opened in sterile field.The device was stored according to the instructions for use (ifu).There was no difficulty removing the product from the packaging.There was no difficulty removing the product from the hoop or removing the protective balloon cover.One picture related to the reported failure was attached by the customer at the complaint file.In the attached picture a section of one balloon catheter product is observed.The device is inside of a non-sterile pouch already open.A compressed/crushed condition on the body of the unit is visible.No other anomalies of the product can be noticed on the attached picture.One product was returned for analysis.A non-sterile unit of a saber 2.5mm x 30cm 150 was received for analysis coiled inside a plastic bag.Per visual analysis, no anomalies were observed.Per functional analysis, balloon inflation was performed to look for any puncture/cut or leakage on the unit.A lab inflator/deflator device was attached to the inflation lumen of unit and pressure applied.No leakage was found during the test, nevertheless, a compressed/crushed area was observed on the body/shaft of the catheter.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82178697 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿body/shaft puncture/cut during prep¿ was not confirmed during device analysis; however, a secondary failure of ¿pta/ptca system compressed/ crushed¿ was confirmed since the body of the unit was noted to be compressed/crushed, as received.Per functional analysis, balloon inflation was performed.A lab inflator/deflator device was attached to the inflation lumen of unit and pressure applied.No leakage was noted; however, a compressed/crushed area was observed on the body/shaft of the catheter.It is likely handling of the device or possible storage may have contributed to the event reported by the customer.According to the safety information of the instructions for use ¿prior to angioplasty, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and integrity, and ensure that its size and shape are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used.Do not use if product damage is suspected or evident.Proper functioning of the catheter depends on its integrity.Care should be used when handling the catheter.Damage may result from kinking, stretching, or forceful wiping of the catheter.Forceful handling can result in catheter separation and the subsequent need to use a snare or other medical interventional techniques to retrieve the pieces.Always verify integrity of the catheter after removal.¿ neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event.Therefore, no corrective or preventive actions will be taken at this time.
