Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.Investigation ¿ evaluation it was reported, following a cesarean delivery, a cook bakri postpartum balloon with rapid instillation components¿ was used for treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (pph).The patient experienced an estimated blood loss of 400ml.The balloon was then placed into the patient and inflated with fluid when leaking was noted.The user replaced the device to complete the procedure and hemostasis was achieved.The total estimated blood loss was 430ml.The patient did not require any blood transfusions.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional intervention due to this occurrence.The patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Reviews of the complaint history, device history record (dhr), instructions for use (ifu), and quality control (qc) procedures were conducted during the investigation.Functional tests and visual inspection of the returned complaint device was also conducted.One device was returned for investigation.A function test was performed, and the balloon was observed to leak.Visual examination noted that there was a cut in the balloon material.Cook has concluded that the device was manufactured to specification.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.A review of the device master record (dmr) concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the device history record (dhr) found ten related non-conformances reported for lot.The non-conformances were determined to not be related to the reported complaint.A complaint history database search showed one other related complaint associated with the failure mode for the complaint device lot.Due to the individual nature of the manufacturing and inspection process for the devices in the lots, it is unlikely that these events are an indication of device issue within the entire lot.Because review of the device history record, complaint history, quality control documents, and functional and visual inspections does not indicate that the device was manufactured out of specification and does not suggest items in the lot or similar devices in the field or in house are nonconforming.Cook also reviewed product labeling; the ifu supplied with the device states the following in consideration of the reported failure mode: - "how supplied: upon removal from the package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred." based upon the available information, inspection of the returned device, and results of the investigation, cook has concluded that the cause for the complaint could not be established.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
