Event Description

As reported, prior to an unknown procedure a advance 35 lp low profile balloon catheter was tested and found to have a hole.The user "suctioned" the balloon with a 20 ml syringe and a contrast/saline mix.Instead of displacing the air with the liquid mixture, air bubbles were going into the balloon, which showed their was a hole in the device.The balloon was not unsheathed, so the user was not able to determine where on the balloon the hole was located.Another new balloon was used to complete the procedure.The device did not make patient contact.There were no reported adverse effects to the patient.

Manufacturer Narrative

Event summary: as reported, prior to an unknown procedure a advance 35 lp low profile balloon catheter was tested and found to have a hole.The user "suctioned" the balloon with a 20 ml syringe and a contrast/saline mix.Instead of displacing the air with the liquid mixture, air bubbles were going into the balloon, which showed their was a hole in the device.The balloon was not unsheathed, so the user was not able to determine where on the balloon the hole was located.Another new balloon was used to complete the procedure.The device did not make patient contact.There were no reported adverse effects to the patient.Investigation ¿ evaluation: a visual inspection of the returned device was conducted.A document-based investigation was also performed including a review of complaint history, device history record, drawing, the instructions for use, specifications, and quality control data.The complainant returned 1 pta balloon catheter in an unused condition for investigation.Testing of the returned device revealed that a leakage was undetectable.The balloon was fully inflated and deflated properly.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.¿ 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.¿ a review of relevant manufacturing documents was conducted.It was concluded that the device aspect in question was visually/functionally inspected by quality control and no related gaps in production or processing controls were noted.Cook¿s testing on the returned device could not reproduce the failure the complainant reported, so cook concluded that component failure was the cause of the incident.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.
