Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Event site telephone number (b)(6).The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and traces of blood on the exterior.The one-way valve was not returned for evaluation.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.Per ifu the one-way valve must be aspirated to 30cc while leaving the one-way valve in place attached to the extracorporeal tubing leur to ensure vacuum is maintained throughout insertion.A lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Reference complaint #(b)(4).
