Manufacturer Narrative
|
Manufacturer ref# (b)(4).Summary of investigational findings: the investigation is based on the event description only.It was reported that the balloon burst, when inflated to 10atm.Balloon and stent were removed and another device was used to complete the procedure.No product was returned and no imaging received and based on the information provided it would be inappropriate to speculate at what may or may not have caused the balloon to burst, but it is noted that the balloon was inflated to 10atm.According to the instructions for use the rated burst pressure is 12, but the recommended expansion pressure is 8atm for a nominal stent id of 7.0mm and it is stated under the balloon expansion/stent deployment section to inflate the balloon to the recommended expansion pressure.Also, it is noted that the stent was removed with the balloon without any reported effect to the patient and therefore it is assumed that the stent was not expanded to an extent to release from the balloon.No evidence to suggest that the device was not manufactured according to specifications.Cook medical will continue to monitor for similar events.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.
