Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Our product evaluation lab received one d97120f5 with 1.3ml monoject limited volume syringe.The report that it did not pace was confirmed.Continuity testing confirmed a full open condition of the proximal circuit.The distal circuit was continuous.A cut down on the catheter body found the proximal lead wire was broken at approximately 3.1 cm proximal of the distal tip.Insulation was not present on the lead wire at the location of damage.The balloon inflated clear and concentric and remained inflated for 5 minutes without leakage.No visible damage was observed from catheter or syringe.A device history record review was completed and documented that the device met all specifications upon distribution.An engineering evaluation was initiated to assess for any manufacturing related processes which could be correlated to the complaint.Pacing difficulty during use was confirmed through the product evaluation.As part of the manufacturing process, 100% of the units go through an electrical continuity inspection process.Based on the available information, the complaint for pacing issue cannot be associated to the manufacturing process defect.Therefore, a root cause could not be determined at this time the instructions for use provides the following warnings and precautions: this catheter requires special techniques for insertion and removal.Electrode dislodgement may result from pulling the catheter out through the percutaneous sheath.Avoid forceful wiping or stretching of the catheter during testing and cleaning as not to break the electrode wire circuitry.Since proper functioning of the pacing catheter depends on the electrical continuity of its electrodes and internal wires, care should be exercised when handling the catheter.
