    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    (B)(4). BAXTER RECEIVED ONE SAMPLE FOR EVALUATION. THE REPORTED CONDITION OF A LEAK WAS CONFIRMED. UPON SAMPLE RECEIPT, THE DEVICE CONTAINED 130 ML OF FLUID IN THE BLADDER. TO VERIFY THE REPORTED CONDITION, THE FILL-PORT CAP WAS REMOVED. UPON REMOVAL, LEAKAGE WAS OBSERVED COMING OUT OF THE FILL-PORT. VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE DISASSEMBLED UNIT REVEALED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE LEAK WAS A 0.4-MM PARTICLE OF GLASS TRAPPED BETWEEN THE CHECK BAND AND THE STRESS MEMBER. THE GLASS FRAGMENT WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE FLUID PATHWAY DURING FILL WITHOUT THE USE OF A FILTER. NO REPAIR WAS DONE, AS THIS IS A SINGLE-USE DEVICE WHICH WILL BE DISCARDED. NO OTHER OBSERVATIONS WERE NOTED ON THE UNIT. PER REVIEW OF THE BATCH RECORDS, NO NONCONFORMANCE REPORT WAS DOCUMENTED FOR THIS LOT. ALL RELEASE CRITERIA WERE MET FOR THE BUILD OF THE LOT. SIMILAR REPORTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FOR THE REPORTED PROBLEM. BAXTER WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SIMILAR REPORTS TO DETERMINE IF FURTHER ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED. SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE SUBMITTED.
