The pantera leo balloon catheter was chosen for the treatment of a high calcified lesion in the rca.The pantera leo was inflated for 10 times at rbp inside the lesion.After deflation the balloon was pushed to the distal side and contrast medium was leaking.Therefore another balloon catheter was used for the procedure.

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 of the returned device revealed two tears in the balloon.The tear at the distal x-marker has a length of about 1/3 mm and the tear between the proximal x-ray marker and the balloon center has a length of about 5 mm.Scratches were observed in the balloon material in close vicinity to both tears.It 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 (i.E.Severe calcification).
