Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Qn#(b)(4).The actual device was not available for return; however, the customer provided a photo for evaluation.The photo was reviewed and it was observed that the shaft was cut but the balloon was still inflated.A device history record review was performed and no relevant findings were identified.The manufacturing site reports: "non-deflation could be occurred due to several reasons such as it was being bent or kinked during the usage, improper fixation of syringe to the valve or excessive pressure applied during deflation process.Besides that, clamping with hard object, heavy encrustation of salt deposits and the use of inflating fluids such as non-sterile water or saline also may lead to such problem.Furthermore, the balloon with low fill volume than the recommended tends to have the problem.In a standard practice, an empty syringe without plunger is also recommended to be used to drain off the fluid by gravity and avoid creation of vacuum effect and ease deflation process.However, without returned sample, the actual phenomenon which could lead to non-deflation could not be determined and associate it with any of the above-mentioned root cause.".
