Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide the completed investigation results.As of 24 apr 2024, the sample has not been returned for assessment.Should the sample arrive, the complaint will be reopened.The complaint cannot be confirmed for valve leakage because the complaint sample was not returned for assessment.The exact root cause could not be determined.Historically, valve leakages have been caused by off-center insertion of the dilator.Review of the device history record (dhr) showed there were no issues noted during manufacture of the product that could have contributed to this complaint condition.Currently no action is recommended since this risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the design failure mode and effects analysis (dfmea).
