Manufacturer Narrative

H10: manufacturing review: a manufacturing review was not required as this is the only complaint reported to date for this product and lot.Investigation summary: one atlas gold pta dilatation catheter was returned for evaluation.The balloon was noted to have detached completely from the catheter and noted to be prolapsed and inverted.Glue bullet was noted to be incorrectly seated.No other specific anomalies during the visual evaluation.No functional testing was performed due to the condition of the device.One radio graphic video reviewed.The video loop demonstrates balloon being dilated at the end of a iliac vein stent.The balloon ruptures toward the end of maximum dilation.The balloon is being dilated in a self-expanding stent and at the end of the stent.The stent struts can deform and puncture the balloon as well as over expansion can cause rupture.After rupture, the balloon can get caught on the struts requiring retrieval.The submitted radiographic video confirms the evidence of balloon rupture as the balloon ruptures toward the end of maximum dilation could be observed and the returned device for analysis also confirms the balloon is noted to be detached and the returned balloon noted to be inverted and prolapsed.Hence, the investigation confirms all the reported events such as balloon rupture, balloon detachment and difficulty with removal of the detached balloon respectively.A definitive root cause for the reported balloon rupture, balloon detachment and difficulty with removal of the detached balloon could not be determined based upon the provided information.Labeling review: a review of product labeling documentation (e.G., procedural instructions, indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, contraindications, nursing guide, and unit label) did not find any product labeling inadequacy.H10: b5, d4 (expiration date: 06/2025), g3.H11: section a through f ¿ the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
