Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The balloon portion of the device was not returned by the complainant.Visual inspection of the airway line, which remained attached to the complaint sample showed evidence of damage (reference pictures).Review of the pictures provided by the complainant showed that there was adhesive present to secure the airway line into the balloon and that a portion of the airway line remained seated.The instruction for use, im-gar-10018908-001 (formerly pkg-dfu-cfx-2) states under warnings to guard against product damage by avoiding contact with sharp edges.The investigation did not identify any manufacturing defects, but determined that the airway line was nicked and pulled causing the balloon portion to separate completely from the device.No corrective actions are planned at this time.Smiths medical regularly analyzes complaint data and trends and will take further actions accordingly.
