Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The returned instrument was subjected to a detailed technical analysis and the corresponding production documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for the reported event.The technical investigation of the returned device revealed a fine jet of water in the proximal cylindrical balloon part when applying a pressure.The microscopic analysis of the balloon surface showed a microscopic leakage and scratches on the balloon surface nearby the damage site.Review of the production documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.In addition to visual inspections each instrument is tested for air tightness by means of a helium leak test.We can therefore confirm that the instrument was delivered in a leak-proof condition.Based on the conducted investigations, no manufacturing or material related root cause could be determined.The root cause is most likely related to the patients anatomy.
