Complaint conclusion: as reported, the balloon of a 5f mynx control vascular closure device (vcd) burst upon deployment.There was no reported patient injury.Other procedural details were requested but are unknown, unavailable, not answered, or not applicable.The device will not be returned for evaluation.The reported event of ¿balloon-balloon loss of pressure¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause of the issue experienced could not be determined.Based on the limited information available for review, access site vessel characteristics (reportedly burst upon deployment) and/or handling factors most likely contributed to the burst reported since calcification/peripheral vascular disease (pvd) at the access site and excessive handling can cause damage to the balloon, resulting in a loss of pressure.According to the mynx control instructions for use (ifu), which is not intended as a mitigation, ¿the safety and effectiveness of the mynx control vcd have not been established in the following patient populations: patients with clinically significant peripheral vascular disease in the vicinity of the puncture.¿ also stated in the ifu during product preparation, ¿confirm via femoral arteriogram prior to using the mynx control vcd: common femoral artery single wall puncture.Evidence of adequate flow.No evidence of significant pvd in the vicinity of the puncture.¿ additionally, users are instructed to discard the device if the balloon does not maintain pressure.Based on the information available for review, there is no indication to suggest that the reported failure could be related to the design or manufacturing process of the unit.Therefore, no corrective/preventative actions will be taken at this time.
