Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.One sample of taperguard endotracheal tube with stylet was available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted the cuff presents various cuts.An inflation/deflation test was performed.25cc of air was applied to the cuff using a syringe and it was observed the cuff deflated immediately.It was reported that there was a leak in the cuff without an accompanying report on whether the customer attempted inflation.The reported issue was confirmed.The most likely cause could not be established from the information available.The manufacturing records for each device are thoroughly reviewed prior to release to ensure that it meets all medtronic quality specifications.The instructions included with this device provide the following guidance: test the cuff, pilot balloon and valve for integrity by inflation prior to use.Insert a luer tip syringe into the cuff inflation valve housing and inject enough air to fully inflate cuff.After test inflation, completely evacuate the air.Each tube's cuff, pilot balloon and valve should be tested by inflation prior to use.If dysfunction is detected in any part of the inflation system, the tube should not be used and should be returned.Do not overinflate the cuff.Ordinarily, the cuff pressure should not exceed 25 cmh20.Overinflation can result in tracheal damage, rupture of the cuff with subsequent deflation, or in cuff distortion which may lead to airway blockage.Various bony anatomical structures (e.G., teeth, turbinates) within the airway or any intubation tools with sharp surfaces might jeopardize cuff integrity.Damage to the thin-walled cuff during insertion will subject the patient to the risk of extubation and re-intubation.If the cuff is damaged, the tube should not be used.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
