Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.The returned sheath was over the catheter and partially covering half of the balloon.The extracorporeal tubing was cut into 2 pieces and the male luer side was not returned.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter and y-fitting was performed and no leaks were detected.The technician attempted to insert the returned 0.025¿ guide wire through the inner lumen and was able to successfully insert the guide wire.No obstructions were felt.A sensor output test was performed and the sensor was found to be within specification.The reported sensor failure & difficult/unable to monitor pressure (through inner lumen) events cannot be confirmed by the evaluation.A device and lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No non-conformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.(b)(4).
