Manufacturer Narrative

Analysis: the sample disposition at the user facility is unknown; therefore, an evaluation is unable to be performed.A lot history review revealed this is the only complaint associated with removal difficulty resulting in torn material for this lot.A device history record (dhr) review was performed and noted the device was manufactured to specification prior to being released for distribution.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Conclusion: the actual sample was not received for evaluation.The dhr found nothing to indicate a manufacturing related cause for this event.The health care professional (hcp) reported difficulty removing the lutonix dcb after successful treatment of the target lesion resulting in the balloon shearing off the catheter shaft while the balloon was in the introducer sheath.The balloon was fully contained in the introducer sheath; thus, no foreign material is present in the patient at the conclusion of the procedure.Based on the information obtained related to the event and the investigation, a definite root cause cannot be determined.It is unknown if procedural issues contributed to the reported event.If additional information becomes known to the manufacturer, a supplement report will be submitted with all relevant information.
