Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The returned device 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 this event.During the technical investigation a leakage in the proximal part of the balloon was detected.Microscopic inspection revealed a 1 mm long tear in the balloon over the proximal x-ray marker.Review of the production documentation of the product detailed above verified that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and fulfilled all the requirements of in-process and final inspection.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 of the device being subject to this complaint, no manufacturing or material related root cause was determined.
