Event or Problem Description
The passeo-18 balloon catheter was selected for the treatment.During inflation the balloon ruptured at 10 atm.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The returned instrument was subjected to a technical analysis and the corresponding production documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for the reported event.The technical investigation revealed a fine jet of water emerging from the center of the balloon when attempting inflation.Microscopic analysis of the balloon surface showed a small pinhole with longitudinal orientation about 61 mm proximal to the distal x-ray marker.At the origin of the pinhole a longitudinal deep scratch was observed.It therefore seems likely that the damage of the balloon surface was caused by a hard, sharp-edged object pressing against the balloon from the outside.Review of the production documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.In addition to visual inspections each instrument is tested for air tightness by means of a helium leak test.We can therefore confirm that the instrument was delivered in a leak-proof condition.Based on the conducted investigations, no manufacturing or material related root cause could be determined.The root cause is most likely related to the patients anatomy.
