Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported leak was able to be confirmed.The reported inflation problem was unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.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 similar incidents from this lot.As there was no damage noted to the device during the inspection prior to use and/or during preparation for use, the investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that during advancement inadvertent mishandling and/or manipulation of the device resulted in the noted bunched and torn outer member; thus resulting in the reported leak/inflation issue.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
