Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The returned product was subjected to a detailed technical analysis and the corresponding production documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for the reported event.The technical investigation revealed one tear in the balloon surface, located directly on top of the distal x-ray marker.Scratches were observed in close vicinity of the tear which have likely been caused by a hard, sharp-edged object.The balloon has been partially inflated and was returned in a partially deflated state.Review of the product release documentation confirmed that the device was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.In addition to visual inspections each device is tested for air tightness by means of a pressure test and a helium leak test.We can therefore confirm that the instrument was delivered in a leak-proof condition.Based on the conducted investigations, no material or manufacturing related root cause could be determined.
