Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reported complaint of cool line catheter leak was confirmed.A balloon tear was observed at distal end of distal balloon during in/out luers flushing.Probable causes for the reported complaint can be a latent material defect.Visual examination of the returned catheter was performed.Observed blood in the catheter balloon and in in/out and proximal luered tubings.Further visual inspection was observed using a microscope and the tear on the balloon was observed clean, the tear located at distal end of distal balloon.No other physical damage was observed on the catheter.Functional leak test of the returned catheter was performed.A leak was observed at distal end of distal balloon during in/out luers flushing.All lumens were flushed without resistance, except in/ out luers due to the tear on the balloon, thus confirming customer complaint.During manufacturing all catheters are 100% inspected for leaks by subjecting them to pressure testing.Only units that passed are moved to the next process.Historical complaints were reviewed for service information related to the reported complaint and there was no similar complaint reported for a catheter with a lot number 147000.
