(b)(4).Returned for investigation was a 5fr.Berman 80cm catheter with its original packaging label.Upon return, the inflation lumen stopcock was in the open position.The recommended volume capacity of the balloon is 0.75cc.The supplied control stroke syringe was not returned with the sample.Upon microscopic inspection, the balloon appeared typical.The injection extension line was noted damaged at 3.9cm to 4.4cm from the injection extension line luer.The appearance of the damaged extension line is consistent with being potentially cut or ruptured.No condensation was noted in the inflation lumen extension line.No contrast media was noted within the injection lumen extension line; however, some contrast media was noted within the berman holes.No blood was noted on the interior or the exterior surfaces of the returned sample.No other damage or abnormalities were noted to the returned sample.The inflation lumen was injected with 0.75cc of air using a lab inventory control stroke syringe.The balloon inflated symmetrically.One side of the balloon measured approximately 4mm.The other side measured approximately 4mm.The inflation lumen was injected with 0.75cc of air using a lab inventory control stroke syringe.The balloon inflated symmetrically.The balloon deflated in less than 3 seconds when the syringe was removed.No pull away was noted after the tug test.The balloon was placed in water and air was injected into the inflation lumen again.No leak was noted.The aspiration/flush test for the injection lumen could not be performed due to the previously noted damage to the injection lumen extension line.The root cause of how the damage occurred to the injection lumen extension line could not be determined.A device history record (dhr) review was conducted for the lot number with no relevant findings.The device passed all manufacturing specifications prior to release.The reported complaint that the "extension line broke" is confirmed.Upon visual inspection, damage was noted to the injection lumen extension line.The cause of how the damage occurred to the extension line could not be successfully determined.Based on a review of the device history record (dhr), the product met specification upon release; however, the specifications were not met during the complaint investigation due to the damaged injection lumen extension line.The root cause of the complaint is undetermined.The complaint finding is considered isolated.No further action required at this time.This will be monitored for any developing trends.Other remarks: n/a corrected data: n/a.
