Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being submitted as follow up no.2 to provide the device evaluation results.Visual analysis of the returned components showed evidence of dried body fluids on the outer jacket of the re-collapsable sheath.The sheath was received with all of the ports in the closed position and the balloon dilator fully inserted into the sheath.The sheath appeared in its original folding pattern indicating that the sheath was not inflated.The fairing tip appeared at the distal end of the balloon dilator and did not appear to be separated or dislodged.While the balloon dilator was inserted in the sheath, a microscopic picture of the fairing tip was taken.It was noted that there was some discoloration of the fairing tip indicating and the fairing tip had come in contact with body fluids at some point.The fairing tip was still attached to the balloon dilator.There was no evidence of dislodgement or separation of the fairing tip.Functional testing was then performed on the device.With the dilator inserted in the sheath, the balloon was inflated to with tap water to 20 atm for 60 seconds.It was noted that some water did appear to come out of the distal end of the sheath.However, no pressure drop was noted with the inflation device used.The balloon dilator was then deflated and removed from the sheath.The fairing tip remained on the distal end of the balloon dilator throughout the extraction of the dilator from the sheath.The balloon was inflated outside of the sheath and not leakage was observed.The source of the water was determined to be residual fluid from the decontamination procedure.The fairing tip remained intact throughout this testing.The sheath was then re-collapsed.No anomalies were noted which affected the functionality of the device.The fairing tip did not appear dislodged or loose on the returned device.The device did not appear to have been inflated at any point prior to analysis.No functional defects were noted with the sheath or the balloon dilator.The device met manufacturer specifications for all functional testing performed.The complaint could not be confirmed as there was no failure of the device.There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.The exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.All available information has been placed on file in quality assurance at the manufacturing facility for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.
