Manufacturer Narrative

H10: manufacturing review: a manufacturing review was not required as this is the only complaint reported to date for this product and lot.Investigation summary: one dorado pta dilatation catheter was returned for evaluation.On visual evaluation, there were no anomalies noted to the luers, bifurcate and glue.On functional evaluation, an in-house presto inflation device was used to inflate the balloon and water was noted to be exiting from the distal tip.On further evaluation, balloon was cut and under microscopic observations, it was noted that the inner guidewire lumen was noted to be separated.And it was further noted there was a break at glue joint.Therefore, the investigation for the reported break is confirmed as the glue joint break was noted under microscope.Therefore, the investigation for the reported leak is confirmed as the water was noted to be exiting from the distal tip of the balloon during functional evaluation and also from the video submitted, and separation of guidewire lumen was noted under microscope.One video review was reviewed.The video shows the device in inflated position and it appears bloody.Fluid can be noted to be leaking from near the proximal end of the balloon.However the specific cause of the break could not be identified in the video.No other specific anomalies were noted.Therefore, based on the video review, the reported leak can be confirmed based on the provided video.However, the reported break is inconclusive as no evidence of break is noted in the video.Break at glue joint and separation of inner guidewire lumen is likely to be the root cause of reported leak.However, a definitive root cause for the alleged leak and break could not be determined based upon the provided information.Labeling review: a review of product labeling documentation (e.G., procedural instructions, indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, contraindications, nursing guide, and unit label) did not find any product labeling inadequacy.H11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
