Complaint conclusion: as reported, the balloon of a 5f mynx control vascular closure device (vcd) burst during the preparation process.There was no reported patient injury.Other procedural details were requested but are unknown, unavailable, not answered, or not applicable.A non-sterile ¿mynx control vcd 6f/7f¿ was returned for evaluation.Visual inspection of the received device showed both button 1 and button 2 were not depressed.The syringe and procedure sheath were not received for evaluation.The stopcock was observed closed.The balloon was found fully deflated.In addition, the sealant was found in the manufacturing position fully covered by the sealant sleeves and exposed to blood.For functional analysis, an inflation/deflation test was performed and a leak in the balloon was noted.Visual inspection under high magnification revealed a longitudinal tear in the balloon.The sealant was found in the manufacturing position fully covered by the sealant sleeves and exposed to blood.The reported ¿balloon-balloon loss of pressure¿ was confirmed during analysis of the returned device.The exact cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.This type of tear is typically observed when the balloon comes into contact with calcification and/or other procedural devices (such as a damaged procedural sheath, stent, or vascular graft).According to the instructions for use, which is not intended as a mitigation of risk, users are instructed not to use the device if the balloon does not maintain pressure.Neither the phr review nor the product analysis suggests that the reported event could be related to the manufacturing process of the unit.Therefore, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
