The reported complaint of a leak in the quattro catheter (lot 195538) was confirmed during the functional testing of the catheter.A bonding leak was observed at the proximal end of the medial 2 balloon during the functional pressure leak test.The probable root cause of the reported complaint could be a latent defect in the bond.Visual inspection of the returned catheter was performed, and no physical damage was observed on the catheter.A functional leak test of the returned catheter was performed.All infusion ports and lumens were flushed without resistance.During the functional pressure leak test, the catheter was connected to a pressurized inflation device, and the balloons were fully inflated when pressurized up to 100 psi.Upon pressurizing the catheter, a bonding leak was observed at the proximal end of the medial 2 balloon, confirming the reported complaint.Historical complaints were reviewed for information related to the reported complaint, and there was no previous history of complaints reported for the quattro catheter with lot 195538.
