Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.A visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported material separation was confirmed.There were multiple longitudinal cracks at the proximal end of the hub.A portion of the hub material at the proximal end was separated and was not returned confirming the reported material separation.A proxy indeflator, filled with water, was used to pressurize the device when fluid leaked out of the noted cracks at the proximal end of the hub.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported material separation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
