Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the arteriovenous fistula (avf).A 7x80mm armada 35 balloon catheter was prepared per the instructions for use.The balloon catheter was being used to dilate the lesion; however, the balloon ruptured at 14 atmospheres (atms).The balloon catheter did not resolve the fistula stenosis due to the tight stenosis.A 7x40mm armada balloon catheter was inflated to 15 atms to treat the waist and a non-abbott stent was deployed to successfully treat the fistula stenosis.Final angiography showed a widely patent proximal avf and good flow.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was confirmed.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history of the reported lot revealed no other similar incidents.The investigation determined that the reported balloon ruptures were likely due to case related circumstances.It is likely that the balloon interacted with the lesion site causing damage to the outer surface of the balloon material which subsequently ruptured during inflation.The scratch noted at the rupture indicates interaction to the outer surface material occurred.The noted leak is a result of the anatomy interaction during insertion.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
