Additional information was provided on 28dec2020: there was no prolonged hospitalization for the patient.An unknown 8french cook sheath was also used during the procedure.The location of the lesion was described as "correction of iliac aortic aneurysm".After the balloon failed to inflate inside the patient, it was removed and tested using saline solution.There was no angulation, vessel tortuosity, or calcification.The balloon was not inflated inside of a stent.

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unchanged, unknown or unavailable.Event summary cook was informed of an incident involving an advance 35 lp low profile balloon catheter.The balloon reportedly was punctured and deflated.Upon being removed from the patient, the balloon was attempted to be inflated and a hole in the distal part of the balloon was found, as shown in the provided image.The procedure involved correction of the iliac aortic aneurysm lesion.The balloon was introduced into the patient using an 8fr cook sheath.There was no angulation, vessel tortuosity, and a vessel calcification reported to the patient¿s anatomy.Investigation - evaluation a document-based investigation was performed including a review of complaint history, device history record, documentation, drawings, specifications, manufacturing instructions, instructions for use (ifu), and quality control data.The complainant did not return the complaint device to cook for investigation, however the customer provided a photo of the device.The provided photo shows the balloon filled with blood and the customer inflating the balloon to show where blood / saline was leaking at the proximal end of the balloon.There are no devices from the complaint lot to be used for review.There are no incidents similar enough to this event to be used as a representative device.A review of the device history record (dhr) found no non-conformances related to the reported failure mode.Because there are no related non-conformances, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other related complaints from the lot have been received from the field, it was concluded that there is no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in field.A review of complaint history records shows no other complaints associated with the complaint device lot.The instructions for use (ifu), provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: intended use: ¿the advance 35lp low profile pta balloon dilatation catheter is indicated for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) of lesions peripheral arteries including iliac, renal, popliteal, infrapopliteal, femoral, and iliofemoral as well as obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.¿ warnings: ¿do not exceed rated burst pressure.Rupture of balloon may occur.Adhere to balloon inflation pressure parameters in the compliance card insert.Over-inflation may cause rupture of the balloon, which resultant damage to the vessel wall.Use of a pressure gauge is recommended to monitor inflation pressures.¿ ¿do not use a power injector for balloon inflation or injection of contrast medium through catheter lumen marked ¿distal¿.Rupture may occur.¿ precautions: ¿the catheter is not intended for the delivery of stents.¿ ¿all stents should be deployed in accordance with the manufacturer¿s indications and instructions for use.¿ instructions for use: balloon preparation ¿choose a balloon appropriate to lesion length and vessel diameter.¿ ¿upon removal from package, inspect the catheter to ensure no damage has occurred during shipping.¿ balloon introduction and inflation: ¿note: if resistance is met while advancing the balloon dilatation catheter, determine the cause and proceed with caution.¿ ¿inflate balloon to desired pressure.Adhere to recommended balloon inflation pressures.(see compliance card insert.)¿ ¿if balloon pressure is lost and/or balloon rupture occurs, deflate balloon and remove balloon and sheath as a unit.¿ how supplied: ¿store in a dark, dry, cool place.Avoid extended exposure to light.Upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred.¿ cook has concluded that a definitive conclusion could not be determined.The information provided upon review of complaint file, device history record, complaint history, device master record, and design verification testing provide objective evidence to support that the device was manufactured to specification.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is warranted.Cook medical will continue to monitor this device via the complaints database for similar complaints.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
