    PMA/510(K) # K180291. EVENT SUMMARY: AS REPORTED, DURING A HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAM IN THE UTERINE CAVITY, A COOK SILICONE BALLOON HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAPHY INJECTION CATHETER WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING. A NEW CATHETER WAS USED TO COMPLETE THE PROCEDURE. NO ADVERSE EFFECTS WERE REPORTED TO THE PATIENT AS A RESULT OF THIS OCCURRENCE. INVESTIGATION - EVALUATION: REVIEWS OF THE COMPLAINT HISTORY, DEVICE HISTORY RECORD, INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, SPECIFICATIONS, AND QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES AND A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE DEVICE WERE CONDUCTED DURING THE INVESTIGATION. ONE OPEN PACKAGE CONTAINING A COOK SILICONE BALLOON CATHETER WAS RETURNED FOR INVESTIGATION IN AN UNUSED CONDITION. THE CATHETER WAS BENT INTO A CURVE, LIKELY DUE TO THE WAY THE DEVICE WAS PACKAGED FOR RETURN. THE BALLOON WAS RUPTURED CIRCUMFERENTIALLY, CAUSING IT TO LEAK. A DOCUMENT-BASED INVESTIGATION EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED. NO RELATED NON-CONFORMANCE WERE RECORDED, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO OTHER REPORTED COMPLAINTS FOR THIS LOT NUMBER. THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD REVIEW PROVIDES OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVICE WAS MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF NONCONFORMING DEVICES FROM THE COMPLAINT LOT IN HOUSE OR IN THE FIELD. CURRENT CONTROLS FOR MANUFACTURING ARE IN PLACE TO ASSURE FUNCTIONALITY AND DEVICE INTEGRITY PRIOR TO SHIPPING. REVIEW OF PRODUCTION AND QUALITY DOCUMENTATION DID NOT OBSERVE ANY SPECIFIC ISSUES WITH CURRENT MANUFACTURING OR QUALITY CONTROLS THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS INCIDENT. THE DEVICE IS INCLUDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WHICH CAUTION, ¿DO NOT OVER INFLATE. USING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO INFLATE THE BALLOON ON THIS DEVICE CAN CAUSE THE BALLOON TO RUPTURE. REFER TO PRODUCT LABEL OR THE INFLATION CHECK VALVE ON THE BALLOON DEVICE FOR APPROPRIATE BALLOON VOLUME.¿ BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, COOK HAS CONCLUDED THAT THE MOST PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE BALLOON RUPTURE WAS THE OVERINFLATION OF THE BALLOON. COOK WILL CONTINUE MONITORING OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND HAVE NOTIFIED THE APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL OF THIS EVENT. PER THE QUALITY ENGINEERING RISK ASSESSMENT, NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.
