Manufacturer Narrative

Image review: three photographic images of cine images were received for evaluation.The images are of the patient¿s distal right superficial femoral artery.A radiopaque ruler is in all three images.In the first image the pta balloon catheter is inflated.A candy wrapper twist/ ¿dog boning¿ is visible in the image at approximately the 24cm mark on the radiopaque ruler.The second image is of the pta balloon catheter inflated but no candy wrapper twist/ ¿dog bone¿ is visible in the image.The third image appears to be a cropped enlargement of the pta balloon catheter inflated with a candy wrapper twist/ ¿dog bone¿ visible in the image at approximately 21cm mark on the radiopaque ruler.Product analysis: two pacific xtreme pta balloon catheters were received loaded within their protective transportation hoops.Neither of the balloons nor the hoops were identified as being the first unit used or second unit used in the procedure.No ancillary devices were received for evaluation.One of the pacific xtreme pta balloon catheters was randomly selected to be the first unit used in the procedure.The balloon catheter was received with the balloon chamber in a post-inflation profile, (e.G.Not tightly wrapped or winged).No obvious balloon chamber material twisting, (candy wrapping or dog boning), witness marks were noted in the visual inspection.A 10cc water filled syringe was attached to the proximal hub luer lock and the guidewire lumen was flushed; sanguine residue and tinted fluid was observed exiting the distal tip of the balloon catheter.A 0.018¿ compatible guidewire was loaded through the distal tip of the balloon catheter and navigated with ease out the proximal hub luer lock of the y-manifold.The lot number data printed on the y-manifold is consistent with the reported event.A 10cc water filled syringe was used to lightly inflate the balloon chamber.Faint witness marks of a balloon chamber material twist were noted.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

Event Description

Physician intended to use a pacific xtreme pta balloon to post-dilate a non-medtronic stent during treatment of a 300mm cto (chronic total occlusion-100%) in the patient¿s distal right superficial femoral artery (sfa) of diameter 6mm.Moderate vessel tortuosity and calcification are reported.No damage noted to packaging prior to use.No issues noted when removing the device from the packaging.Ifu was followed and negative prep was performed without issue.Pre-dilation was not performed.The device was passed through the deployed stent without encountering resistance post atherectomy.It is reported that during attempted inflation, dog-boning was observed at an inflation pressure of 3atm.The device was replaced with another pacific xtreme device, but the same issue was experienced at an inflation pressure of 6atm.There was no twist or kink noted on the balloons when removed from the patient.Both devices were safely removed from the patient.No vessel damage occurred.A non-medtronic balloon was used to complete the procedure.A non-medtronic stent was placed.No patient injury reported.
