Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history of the reported lot revealed no other incidents and/or complaints reported from this lot.Based on the information provided, a definitive cause for the entrapment and separation resulting in unexpected medical intervention to remove the separated tip could not be determined.It may be possible that the distal end of the introducer sheath was bent or collapsed causing difficulty withdrawing the balloon resulting in separation of the balloon/tip material during removal; 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.
