Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported cracked hub, leak and inflation issues were confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as the device was prepped prior to insertion into the anatomy without reported issue.It is likely the hub interacted with the device accessories during connection (stopcock, indeflator, etc.) causing the reported crack in the hub and subsequent leak and inflation issues.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
