Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device returned to manufacturer on (b)(6) 2019.Received one (1) used, list # 412290402, td catheter, 7f, 4 lumen, 110 cm, heparin coated, lf; lot # 90-997-sj.The reported complaint of a balloon rupture was confirmed.The returned td catheter was received with the balloon ruptured and a portion of the balloon missing.The observed damage is typical of damage seen while using a introducer or contamination shield which is too small.One source of this type of physical damage to the balloon could be from an outside influence such as a contamination shield or an introducer sheath.Ensure any introducer or contamination shield used is designed for the proper french size of the catheter per the directions for use (dfu), which states the french size should be one size larger than the catheter.Without the return of the used introducer or shield, the cause of the physical damage cannot be determined.The lot # 90-997-sj was reviewed and there were no relevant non-conformances found.Due to a system limitation, the date in g4 is inadvertently marked as 2/19/2019 in the supplemental emdr.The correct date is (b)(6) 2019.
