It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the right coronary artery with mild calcification.The indeflator was used in the procedure to inflate a trek balloon, nc trek balloons and a xience stent; however, it was noted inflation of the devices took longer than expected to achieve the required atmospheres.It was n noted that when using the indeflator, the inflation device had to be rotated many times to inflate the balloons and inflation device was not able to maintain negative when deflating the balloons.Although a leak was not detected, possibly the three-way stopcock was not allowing the indeflator to hold negative pressure.A non-abbott inflation device was used to continue the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
