Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The reported event was inconclusive.No sample was returned for evaluation.However, the potential root cause for this failure mode could be pinch lumen/collapse lumen/thick sac thickness/valve damage/short inflation lumen.The lot number was unknown; therefore, the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "no substance except sterile water should be used to inflate the balloon." the device was not returned.
