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 white stopcock.Upon further inspection of the joint, we observed an inadequate amount of glue at the stopcock joint.The root cause of the issue was determined to be an operator error- not enough glue was applied on the stopcock joint during the assembly process.Our review of the lot history records for this lot did not find any discrepancies either in the manufacturing or packaging process that could be related to this incident.Further, we have not received any other complaints of a similar nature for devices from this lot.We currently have a corrective and preventive action (capa) open to address this issue and prevent them from reoccurring.There was no injury to the patient as the result of this malfunction.Surgeon used another pruitt aortic occlusion catheter and continued the procedure.
