Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned for analysis.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 similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to operational circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the inflation device during connection due to an inadvertent over torque of the inflation device causing the reported audible noise and loose or intermittent connection.The reported loose or intermittent connection between the delivery system and the inflation device likely prevented the delivery system from inflating causing the reported activation failure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling of the device.
