Event Description
|
It was reported that blade detachment occurred.The 95% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and mildly calcified inner shunt forearm.A 5.00mm / 2.0cm / 50cm 2cm peripheral cutting balloon was advanced for dilation.After the lesion was properly dilated, the device was removed as usual.It was then noted that the blade of the balloon proximal part got damaged and was partially separated from the balloon.The calcification was not severe, and since the sheath was able to insert without issue, physician stated that there was no particular reason that could be found that caused the separation.No stent was placed in the lesion.The procedure was completed using this device.There were no complications reported, and patient status after surgery was good.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr.: a visual examination was performed on the returned device.It was identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the device was subjected to positive pressure.A visual examination of the returned device identified that the balloon had been inflated.The investigator filled the balloon with liquid to facilitate an inspection of the blades when the liquid was observed leaking from a balloon pinhole located approximately 8mm proximal of the distal markerband.Additionally, it was noted that approximately 10mm of the proximal end of one of the blades was lifted distally from its pad.The damage identified is consistent with excessive force being applied when resistance is encountered during the withdrawal of the device through the sheath.All other blades were intact and fully bonded to the balloon material.No issue was observed with the tip or markerbands of the device.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.
