Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported event was confirmed during functional testing of the quattro catheter (lot# 77827).Visual inspection of the returned catheter was performed.No abnormalities with the catheter were seen.All lumens flushed as intended.During functional testing, the catheter was connected to a pressurized inflation device.Immediately upon pressurizing the catheter, a pinhole leak was observed at the medial 1 balloon.During manufacturing all catheters are 100% inspected for leaks by subjecting them to pressure testing.Only units that passed are moved to the next process.Probable causes for the reported complaint can be a latent material defect.Historical complaints were reviewed for information related to the reported complaint and there was no previous history of complaint reported of the quattro catheter with lot# 77827.Correction for lot# 77827.
