    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THREE PORTEX® BIVONA® ADULT TTS¿ TRACHEOSTOMY TUBES WERE RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. IT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED WHICH DEVICE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPORTED EVENT; THEREFORE, THE EVALUATION OF ALL RETURNED DEVICES WILL BE USED FOR THE MEDWATCH. VISUAL INSPECTION (UNAIDED AND MICROSCOPICALLY) FOUND SCUFF MARKS NOTED BY AN ABSENCE OF AN EXPECTED COATING AT BOTH SIDES OF THE PROXIMAL END OF THE CUFF. FUNCTIONAL TESTING INVOLVED A LEAK TEST AND SHOWED THAT THE CUFF LEAKED FROM THE SCUFFED AREA ON THE AIRWAY SIDE OF EACH DEVICE. BASED ON THE EVIDENCE, THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE MARKS ON THE CUFFS WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE FOUND TO SUGGEST THE EVENT WAS CAUSED FROM AN INTRINSIC DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. (B)(4).
