Event Description

The reporter stated, during a cardiac catheterization the balloon ruptured.It was also reported that the customer has not made any changes to their sheath supplier or type and they routinely perform a ¿balloon up¿ test shortly after it¿s taken out of the package.Although there was patient involvement, there was no serious injury/harm, no adverse event, no medical intervention required and no delay in critical therapy reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

The reported complaint of a ruptured balloon was confirmed.As received, the latex free balloon of the td catheter was torn.The balloon also appeared to have failed while inflated with the latex free balloon material being stretched out.Testing was completed on three new td torque-line catheters.Physical damage was observed on all three balloon catheters that were inserted into the sleeve with a smaller inner diameter.The probable cause of the balloon ruptures are due to inserting them through a mating device such as a re-positioning sleeve or introducer with a smaller inner diameter than the balloon's outer diameter.This caused undue stress on a portion of the balloon as the balloon is stretched back and folds over.A device history review (dhr) was performed and relevant commodities were reviewed and there were no relevant non-conformances found.G1: (b)(6).
