Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents and/or complaints from this lot.Based on the information provided, a conclusive cause for the reported inflation problem, difficult to remove and shaft damage could not be determined.It may be possible that the inflation device was not properly connected, or the shaft was bent or kinked causing the inflation lumen to become blocked.Additionally, the difficulty removing, and shaft damage may be the result of the distal shaft being entrapped within the anatomy; however, this could not be confirmed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.D9, h3 - device available for eval updated from "yes" to "no".H6 - medical device problem code 1562 was removed.
