Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation evaluation: our laboratory evaluation and visual inspection of the product said to be involved determined that balloon material was missing.The section of the balloon material was not returned.The balloon material that is still intact does not match up.A functional test cannot be performed due to the condition of the returned device.A product-specific discrepancy that could have caused or contributed to this observation was not observed during our laboratory analysis.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 conclusions: a definitive cause for this observation could not be determined because the actual use conditions could not be duplicated in the laboratory setting.Due to a variety of clinical conditions such as patient anatomy, endoscope position or progression of disease state, we could not reproduce the actual conditions of product usage during our laboratory analysis.This limits our ability to conclusively determine a cause.A split or rupture in the balloon material can occur if the balloon was inflated in excess of the recommended inflation volume.The instructions for use direct the user to attach the enclosed syringe to the stopcock (which is attached to the inflation port) to inflate the balloon.A split or rupture in the balloon material can also occur if added pressure was applied during extraction.The instructions for use direct the user to "gently withdraw the inflated balloon toward the papilla." the instructions for use contain the following: ¿warning: do not exert excessive pressure on ampulla while extracting stones.If stone does not pass easily, reassess need for sphincterotomy.¿ a split or rupture in the balloon material can occur if the balloon has come into contact with a sharp object.Prior to distribution, all fusion biliary 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.Corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.Corrective action is not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.
