We have received the complaint device for evaluation and we have confirmed the reported incident.When we attempted to inflate the balloon with saline, we observed a leakage at the distal bond between the balloon and the catheter shaft.The root cause of the issue was determined to be an operator error- not enough glue was applied on the joint during the assembly process.We have not received any other complaints of a similar nature for devices from this lot.Therefore, we believe that it was an isolated incident.Surgeon detected the malfunction during pre-use check.Device was not used for the procedure.He then used another pruitt aortic occlusion catheter for the procedure.
