    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    28-SEP-2021 PMA NUMBER WAS INCORRECT ON THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSION. CORRECTED TO K151744. THE RETURNED INSTRUMENT WAS SUBJECTED TO A TECHNICAL ANALYSIS AND THE CORRESPONDING PRODUCT RELEASE DOCUMENTATION WAS REVIEWED TO ESTABLISH WHETHER A DEVIATION FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS COULD BE THE CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED EVENT. THE TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REVEALED A FINE JET OF WATER EMERGING FROM THE CENTER OF THE BALLOON WHEN ATTEMPTING INFLATION. MICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS OF THE BALLOON SURFACE SHOWED A SMALL PINHOLE WITH TRANSVERSAL ORIENTATION ABOUT 62 MM PROXIMAL TO THE DISTAL X-RAY MARKER. AT THE ORIGIN OF THE PINHOLE SCRATCHES WERE OBSERVED WHICH HAVE LIKELY BEEN CAUSED BY A HARD, SHARP-EDGED OBJECT SUCH AS E.G. ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE. REVIEW OF THE PRODUCT RELEASE DOCUMENTATION CONFIRMED THAT THE INSTRUMENT WAS MANUFACTURED ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS AND PASSED ALL IN-PROCESS AND FINAL INSPECTIONS. IN ADDITION TO VISUAL INSPECTIONS EACH INSTRUMENT IS TESTED FOR AIR TIGHTNESS BY MEANS OF A HELIUM LEAK TEST AND A PRESSURE TEST. WE CAN THEREFORE CONFIRM THAT THE INSTRUMENT WAS DELIVERED IN A LEAK-PROOF CONDITION. BASED ON THE CONDUCTED INVESTIGATIONS, NO MANUFACTURING OR MATERIAL RELATED ROOT CAUSE COULD BE DETERMINED. THE ROOT CAUSE IS MOST LIKELY RELATED TO THE PATIENTS ANATOMY.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    A PASSEO-18 BALLOON CATHETER WAS CHOSEN FOR TREATMENT. THE BALLOON WAS PLACED PROPERLY INSIDE THE LESION. AS THE BALLOON WAS INFLATED UP TO 6 BAR THE PRESSURE OF THE BALLOON WOULD SLOWLY TURN DOWN. TO KEEP THE BALLOON INFLATED AT 6 BAR IT WAS NECESSARY TO KEEP ON GIVING MORE PRESSURE.
