Additional Manufacturer Narrative

No issue was observed during evaluation of the returned quattro catheter (lot # 71602).The report of leak was not confirmed.Visual inspection of the catheter upon receipt revealed no abnormalities.All lumens flushed as intended.The catheter was functionally tested by connecting to an inflation device, capping the "out" luer and connecting the "in" luer to the pressure inflation device.The catheter was pressurized up to 100 psi and the pressure was observed for one minute without any leak.In addition, lumen crosstalk test was performed, capping the "out" luer and connecting the pressure inflation device to the medial, distal and proximal luer.The catheter was pressurized and no leaks were noted with all the three lumens.Following the tests, all balloons deflated successfully without any issues.Historical complaints were reviewed for information related to the reported complaint and there was no similar complaint reported for the quattro catheter with lot # 71602.Note, during manufacturing, all quattro catheters are 100% inspected for leaks.In addition, extension tubing is also 100% tested for leaks.Only units that pass the testing are moved to the next process.
