Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported complaint of a leak from cool line catheter (lot 206444) was confirmed during functional testing.A leak was observed from the middle of the proximal balloon, due to a tear in the balloon.The probable root cause of the reported complaint was a latent material defect.Visual inspection of the returned catheter was performed, and no physical damage was observed on the catheter.Blood residue was observed in the balloons and luered tubings.During functional testing, all infusion ports and lumens were flushed without resistance.Upon flushing the in/out lumens, a leak was observed from the middle of the proximal balloon.Further inspection of the catheter under the microscope revealed a tear in the balloon, located at the middle of the proximal balloon, confirming the reported complaint.Pressurized functional testing could not be performed due to the leak discovered during the in/out lumen test.Historical complaints were reviewed for information related to the reported complaint, and there was no previous history of complaints reported for the cool line catheter with lot number 206444.
