Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was not returned, but a photo was available for evaluation.A video was also provided.A comprehensive examination could not be performed, because the returned sample was not received in a state that allowed full functional or visual assessment.It was reported that the cuff was inflated and then burst, the cuff had an issue with the cuff not inflating/deflating according to specifications and there was an issue with the pilot line or balloon.The reported issue could not be confirmed.The most likely cause could not be established from the information available.The manufacturing records for each device are thoroughly reviewed prior to release to ensure that it meets all medtronic quality specifications.The instructions included with this device provide the following guidance: each tube¿s cuff, pilot balloon and valve should be tested by inflation prior to tube insertion.If dysfunction is detected in any part of the inflation system, the tube should not be used.Do not overinflate the cuff.Ordinarily, cuff pressure should not exceed 25 cm of h2o.Closely monitor cuff pressure under a physician¿s guidance.Overinflation may lead to permanent tracheal damage, rupture of the cuff with subsequent deflation, or cuff distortion that may cause airway blockage.To ease insertion and to guard against cuff perforation from sharp edges of cartilage, the cuff should be pulled back.Inflate the cuff and gently move the cuff away from the distal tip of the cannula towards the neck plate as the residual air is removed by deflation.Do not use sharp instruments such as forceps or hemostats that would damage the cuff when manipulating it.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
