Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and no visible blood on the catheter.The one-way valve was found to be returned in place.The sheath was not returned for evaluation.The catheter tubing was observed to be flattened along its length.This may occur if a vacuum is held with the one-way valve attached for a long period of time on the catheter causing the catheter tubing to lose its round shape.The one-way valve was vacuum tested and it held vacuum.A laboratory insertion test was unable to be performed due to the membrane being unfurled.- an underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A leak may impact the ability to maintain vacuum.We are unable to confirm the reported difficulty during insertion because of the returned condition of the catheter and we are unable to mimic the clinical setting.A device and lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Reference complaint # (b)(4).Record id (b)(4).
