It was reported that shaft hole occurred.The 75% stenosed target lesion was located in a shunt in the moderately tortuous radial cutaneous vein.A 4.0 x 40, 40 cm mustang balloon catheter was advanced for dilatation.However, during several inflations, the pressure did not increase.It went up once but the scale goes down when the handle was stopped.Subsequently, a hole in the shaft was noticed and leaked out but there was no rupture of the balloon observed.The procedure was completed using with this device.There were no patient complications nor injuries reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: mustang 4.0 x 40, 40cm, batch# 56580110, 24atm was received for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.A visual and microscopic examination of the balloon material identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The returned device was attached to a boston scientific encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied but the balloon could not be fully inflated due to a shaft leak.The markerbands and tip of the device were visually and microscopically examined, and no issues were noted with the device that may have potentially contributed to the complaint incident.The returned device was attached to a boston scientific encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied, and liquid was observed to be exiting from a shaft pinhole located approximately 7mm proximal of the proximal markerband.No other damage or issues were noted with the shaft of the device.
