Manufacturer Narrative

Ec method code desc - 5: communication/interview (4111).Based upon the investigation, it was determined this is not a reportable event because there was no problem with the product and an adverse effect did not occur.No product malfunction or serious injury occurred.A visual inspection and functional testing of the returned device was conducted.A document based investigation was also performed including a review of complaint history, device history record, the instructions for use, specifications, and quality control data.One device was returned for investigation.The returned packaging confirms the reported complaint device lot number.Visual examination confirmed the catheter was received in unused condition.Several areas of damage were noted starting at the distal tip and continued to the lumen junction fitting.The damage was likely caused by the return shipping.Functional test was performed by inflating the balloon with air.Balloon inflated asymmetrically and held inflation steadily and deflated properly.A leak or rupture was not detected from the balloon or the fittings.A review of the device history record found no non-conformances related to the reported failure mode.A review of complaint history records shows no other complaints associated with the complaint device lot.Because there are no related non-conformances, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot related complaints that have been received from the field, it was concluded that there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in field.The instructions for use (ifu), provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: instructions for using cook® silicone balloon hsg catheter hysterosalpingography "1.If desired, connect balloon catheter to a disposable tube (order number: j-det-115000)." "position a vaginal speculum within the vagina so the external cervical os can be visualized during catheter insertion." "3.Cleanse the cervix with appropriate cleansing solution." "4.Catheter tip is inserted through cervix and into uterus." "5.Fill the syringe with sterile saline solution.Eliminate air from the syringe." "6.To inflate the balloon, instill sterile saline solution." "7.Inject a small amount of contrast medium to check the position of the balloons." "8.If desired, deflate the balloon and using fluoroscopic control, advance the catheter along the course of the residual cervical contrast into the uterine cavity.When the catheter's position in the uterus is confirmed, reinflate balloon with sterile saline solution to the maximum volume." "9.Pull back gently on the catheter shaft to seat the inflated balloon against the internal cervical os." "10.Inject sufficient contrast medium to fluoroscopically visualize the uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes." "11.Deflate the balloon when the examination is complete and remove the catheter from the cervix." how supplied "upon removal from the package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred." a review of relevant manufacturing documents was conducted.It was concluded that the device aspect in question was visually/functionally inspected by quality control and no related gaps in production or processing controls were noted.The complaint device was returned for evaluation.Visual examination confirmed the catheter was received in unused condition.Several areas of damage was noted starting at the distal tip and continuing to the lumen junction fitting.Damage was likely caused during returned shipment.A functional test was performed by inflating the balloon with air.The balloon was inflated asymmetrically and observed to hold inflation steadily and to deflate properly.A leak or rupture was not detected from the balloon or the fittings.The investigation found there were no other complaints related to this lot number.There is no indication that a design related failure mode contributed to this event.Current controls for manufacturing are in place to assure functionality and device integrity prior to shipping.The complaint could not be confirmed based on evaluation of the returned device.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is warranted.Cook medical has notified the appropriate personnel and will continue to monitor this device via the complaints database for similar complaints.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.
