As reported, sterile heparin/saline leaked from the balloon of a 5f mynx control vascular closure device (vcd) during preparation and the balloon ruptured.There was no reported patient injury.The device was prepared and stored according to the instructions for use, and no damage was observed prior to opening the package.The deployer was certified in the use of the mynx device.Hemostasis was achieved with the use of another mynx device.The device was returned; however, not received for analysis.The reported event of ¿balloon-balloon loss of pressure¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not received for analysis.The exact cause of the issue experienced could not be determined.Based on the limited information available for review, it is not possible to determine what factors may have contributed to the loss of pressure reported.However, balloon prep and/or handling factors are possible.According to the instructions for use (ifu) during the prepare balloon step, which is not intended as a mitigation, ¿fill locking syringe with 2 to 3 ml of sterile saline, attach to stopcock and draw vacuum.Check luer connector and tighten if necessary.Inflate the balloon until the black marker on the inflation indicator is fully visible.Check for leaks in the balloon and syringe connector; retighten if necessary.Discard the device if the balloon does not maintain pressure.Check for air bubbles in the balloon.If air bubbles are visible, deflate the balloon, draw vacuum to remove bubbles and re-inflate.¿ based on the information available for review, there is no indication that the event is related to the design or manufacturing process of the unit.Therefore, no corrective/preventative action will be taken at this time.
