Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was received for investigation.Inspection of the returned device found that the safety balloon sleeve had been moved in the incorrect direction by the user.As a result, the safety balloon was observed damaged/detached from one end of the shunt lumen.During testing, fluid leaked out of the safety balloon area due to the damaged caused by the user.The failure occurred due to user error.As stated in the ifu: the sheath should be moved and hang loosely on the infusion area of the distal lumen (away from the stopcock area).We have conducted a lot history review and did not find any issues noted in the manufacturing or packaging process that could be related to this issue.All qc tests passed their requirements.
