Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and traces of blood on the exterior.The sheath was not returned for evaluation.The inner lumen was found occluded with dried blood.The occlusion was unable to be cleared.A laboratory insertion test was unable to be performed due to the membrane being unfurled.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A leak may impact the ability to maintain vacuum.We are unable to confirm the reported difficulty during insertion because of the returned condition of the catheter and we are unable to mimic the clinical setting.A non-conforming material report review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Reference complaint#: (b)(4).
