Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The cryosolutions 10pk cartridge (33516) was not returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.The lot number provided by the customer is not a valid lot number; therefore, a review of the device history record (dhr) could not be reviewed.Thus, a definitive root cause could not be determined.The issue of leaking may be the result of a damaged/worn o-ring or issues with the cartridges.Investigation by the product's legal manufacturer/sales entity found that certain lots of cryosolutions cartridges were affected by a valve that may open prematurely.The legal manufacturer has provided a safety advisory and instructions for use (ifu) updates which have been distributed by integra to affected customers/distributors as part of a voluntary correction.If additional relevant information becomes available in the future, this complaint will be reopened, and the respective evaluation performed.Trends will be monitored for this and similar issues.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
