Event Description
|
An orsiro mission drug-eluting stent system was selected for treatment of a mildly calcified lesion (80 percent stenosis degree) in the proximal da.When starting inflation, rapid deflation was observed.Upon reaching the required atm, retrograde contrast leak (in the proximal part) was observed on the monitor.The delivery system was removed, and the stent was post-dilated with another balloon.The patient evolves favorably.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Combination product: yes.The returned product was subjected to a detailed technical analysis and the corresponding product release documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for this event.In addition, a photograph taken from the angiogram was reviewed.The technical investigation confirmed that the balloon has been inflated and was deflated in the as-returned state.Functional testing was performed by inflating the instrument up to 10 atm (np) during which a fine jet of water was seen to emerge from the proximal balloon portion.Microscopic inspection revealed a pinhole in the balloon material above proximal radiopaque marker.Scratches were observed in close vicinity to the pinhole which have likely been caused by a hard, sharp-edged object such as e.G.Anatomical structure.The photograph taken from the angiogram shows the balloon being inflated in the proximal lad with contrast medium leaking from the proximal balloon portion.However, the photograph did not provide any further relevant information with regards to the root cause of the complaint.Review of the product release documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.In addition to visual inspections each instrument is tested for air tightness by means of a helium leak test.We can therefore confirm that the instrument was delivered in a leak-proof condition.Based on the conducted investigations, no manufacturing or material related root cause could be determined.The root cause is most likely related to the patients anatomy.
