Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
As reported, the 4mm x 4cm powerflex pro percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter was not packaged aseptically.After opening the package, it was found that the plastic aseptic package inside was not sealed.There was no reported injury to the patient.The device will not be returned for evaluation as multiple attempts were made without success.The device was returned for analysis.A non-sterile ¿powerflexpro 4mm4cm 135¿ was received coiled inside of a clear plastic bag.The device was unpacked to proceed with the product evaluation.The unit was thoroughly inspected no damages or anomalies were noted on the received device.The balloon was received deflated and no original packaging was returned with the device.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82230304 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿packaging/pouch/box compromised sterility- seal open¿ cannot be confirmed as the device was returned for analysis in its original packaging, nor procedural images provided.Therefore, the exact cause of the event reported cannot be conclusively determined.Without the return of the device for analysis in its original packaging, we cannot confirm a compromise in sterility.According to the instructions for use, which is not intended as a mitigation of risk, ¿note: do not expose the catheter to organic solvents (e.G.Alcohol).Note: do not use if the inner package is open or damaged.Note: do not resterilize.Exposure to temperatures above 54°c (130°f) may damage the catheter.Note: store in a cool, dark, dry place.Removal from package: open the pouch, grasp the hub and gently take the catheter out.¿ neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event.Therefore, no corrective or preventive action will be taken at this time.
