Investigation - evaluation.Reviews of the complaint history, device history record, drawing, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, quality control procedures, and specifications and a visual inspection and functional test of the returned device were conducted during the investigation.The visual inspection of the returned device showed the presence of biomatter.The device was unable to be inflated to its rated burst pressure.A leak was noted from the wire exchange port of the device, suggestive of communication between the two lumens.No visible damage was noted to balloon or the catheter.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.There is no evidence to suggest the product was not made to specifications.A review of the device history record showed one nonconforming event which could contribute to this failure mode.The nonconforming product was identified prior to final inspection and was scrapped.A review of complaint history showed no other reported complaints for this lot number.Furthermore, reviews of the drawing, manufacturing instructions, specifications, and quality control procedures were conducted, and no gaps were discovered.An ifu is also provided with this device, which advises, "flush the wire lumen using heparinized saline solution.Solution should be seen exiting the wire guide port proximal to the balloon." based on the information provided and the examination of the returned product, investigation has concluded that a cause for the device failure could not be determined.We will continue our monitoring of similar complaints and have notified the appropriate personnel of this event.Per the quality engineering risk assessment no further action is required.There is no evidence to suggest that the device failure observed during the investigation would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury if the failure were to recur.Furthermore, there is no evidence that the device caused or contributed to a serious injury, as no life-threatening or permanently impairing injury took place, nor was intervention taken as a result of the device failure which would be required to prevent permanent impairment or damage to the patient.As such, the event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death, serious injury and/or product malfunction.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
