The reported complaint of a catheter balloon leak was confirmed during flushing of the returned icy catheter (lot# 197872) during decontamination.During the in/out lumen flushing, a leak was observed from the middle of the distal balloon due to a tear in the balloon.During functional testing, all infusion ports and lumens were flushed without resistance.Upon flushing the in/out lumen, a leak was observed from the middle of the distal balloon.Further inspection of the catheter under a microscope showed a balloon tear located in the middle of the distal 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 investigation related to the reported complaint, and one similar complaint was reported for the icy catheter with lot #197872.Ccr 92430 was reported on 5 january 2026, and a balloon tear was observed.Correction: b5 and d4, lot # for catheter.
