Correction: h6 - annex a.Investigation ¿ evaluation.It was reported that an arndt endobronchial blocker set was required for a frozen lung biopsy procedure.During device testing, prior to patient contact, the balloon was filled with 10ml of air and leakage was discovered.As reported, the patient did not experience any adverse effects or require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.Reviews of the documentation, including the complaint history, device history record, quality control procedures, manufacturing instructions, drawing and instructions for use (ifu), as well as a visual inspection of the returned device, were conducted during the investigation.Cook received one used balloon catheter from the customer.Visual inspection of the device confirmed the balloon had ruptured.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) for the found no relevant nonconformances that could have contributed to the reported failure mode.It should be noted that there were no other complaints associated with the final product lot number.Cook also reviewed product labeling: the product ifu, [c t aebs rev6] ¿arndt endobronchial blocker set,¿ provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: warnings: ¿the enclosed blocker balloon is a high-volume, low-pressure design.Excessive manipulation over a prolonged period may cause balloon rupture or deflation.¿ precautions: ¿care should be taken to ensure the balloon remains fully inflated during longer procedures.Following insertion of the blocker balloon through he multiport adapter, the balloon should be test inflated¿ instructions for use: ¿warning: the lungs should be carefully auscultated following initial endobronchial blocker placement and balloon inflation to ensure proper functioning of the endobronchial blocker.9.Do not overinflate balloon.Average inflation volumes 7.0 adult spherical 2.0cc-6.0cc¿.Evidence gathered upon review of the dmr, product labeling, dhr and device failure analysis, does not indicate the device was manufactured out of specification.There is no evidence of nonconforming material in house or in the field.Based on the information provided, examination of the returned product, and the results of our investigation, it was concluded that a component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design deficiencies contributed to the reported event.It is possible that the device was damaged during test inflation.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.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.
