Event Description

It was reported that the balloon ruptured.The 90% stenosed target lesion was located in a moderately tortuous and mildly calcified cephalic vein.A 6.00mm/2.0cm/50cm peripheral cutting balloon was selected for use.During the procedure, it was noted that the balloon was not inflated completely as there was a part where "waist" remains after dilating different parts for three times.Subsequently, the balloon ruptured at 7atm upon third inflation.The device was simply removed from the patient's body and procedure was completed with a different device.There were no complications reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

E1.Initial reporter city: (b)(6).Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the device was subjected to positive pressure.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied when liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole located approximately 10mm proximal of the distal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The rated burst pressure for this device is 10 atmospheres as per pcb2cm specification.A visual and microscopic examination observed no damage to the tip or blades.All blades were present and fully bonded to the balloon surface.A visual and tactile examination identified no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
