Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
One device was received for evaluation in used condition.As received the spring valve was observed to be lodged inside the pilot balloon.Inspection of the inside of the pilot balloon showed unknown residuals.Additionally, two tears were observed in the pilot balloon.The deformation on the tears were uneven.The complaint of 'pilot line spring valve pushed into the valve' was confirmed.The probable cause is due a twisting motion or excessive force was applied to the inflation valve when attaching the syringe, which advanced the valve down into the balloon.Device history review (dhr) found there were no non-conforming material reports (ncmrs) initiated for the lot or anomalies identified in the dhr.
