Event Description

A lead extraction procedure commenced to remove a right atrial (ra) and a right ventricular (rv) lead due to bacteremia.During preparation to stage a spectranetics bridge occlusion balloon to be used in the event of an emergency, it was observed that the balloon was enlarged at the tip, when the protective sleeve was removed.It was considered to be too enlarged to insert through the femoral sheath, so another bridge balloon was opened and used to prophylactically stage within the patient.The procedure was completed with no reported patient harm.This report captures the bridge balloon which was enlarged at the tip, potential for harm if it was to recur in the event of an emergency.

Manufacturer Narrative

D9): the device was returned 01aug2023.G3): device evaluation and investigation were completed 17aug2023.H3): the bridge device was returned without the protective sheath.Visual inspection found the balloon was wrinkled and accordioned at the distal tip.The distal end of the balloon was flared, compared to the appearance of the rest of the balloon.Using a 0.035" laboratory guide wire, the device was confirmed to be patent but significant resistance was encountered when directly under the balloon.When loading the bridge through a 12f laboratory introducer sheath from a bridge prep kit, advancement was achieved through the entire sheath, with slight resistance noted upon advancement and withdrawal, as expected.H6): based on device evaluation and investigation, the cause of the reported failure and balloon deformity could not be established.Submission of this report does not, in itself, represent a conclusion by the manufacturer and/or authorized representative or the national competent authority that the content of this report is complete or accurate, that the medical device(s) listed failed in any manner and/or that the medical device(s) caused or contributed to an alleged death or deterioration in the state of the health of any person.
