D2a - common device name: biliary catheter for stone removal that may also allow for irrigation and contrast injection investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was performed only by the video provided in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.Per the video provided we cannot complete a full evaluation.Without the product or substantial evidence to contradict the complaint, it is considered confirmed based solely on statements and video describing the event.The video shows the device, and the balloon is inflated at the beginning of the video.When the stopcock is turned and negative pressure is applied to the balloon, the balloon does not deflate.The stopcock is then removed, and the balloon still does not deflate, confirming the complaint.The user shows that the syringe does not experience resistance unless it is attached to the inflation port/balloon.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: our evaluation of the video confirmed the report; however, we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.Prior to distribution, all fusion extraction balloon with multiple sizing are subjected to a visual and functional test to ensure device integrity.The functional test includes an air inflation test to ensure proper balloon function.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: based on the quality engineering risk assessment, no corrective action is warranted at this time.A review of the complaint history was conducted.Based on this review, the likelihood of this type of report is rare.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends.
