Manufacturer Narrative

The device is expected to be returned for evaluation.It has not yet been received.A follow up report will be submitted with all additional relevant information.The additional nc trek device referenced is filed under a separate medwatch report number.

Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the right coronary artery.The 4.00x20mm nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was prepped outside the anatomy and the contrast mix ratio was 50/50.The bdc was inflated once to dilate the artery.After inflation, the balloon failed to deflate and could not be retrieved into the guiding catheter and could not advance further in the radial artery.A surgeon was called and a cut down was performed to retrieve the balloon from the radial artery.A second 4.00x20mm nc trek bdc was also prepped outside the anatomy and the contrast mix ratio was 50/50.The bdc was advanced through a 6f guiding catheter through access on the other side via the left radial artery.The bdc was inflated five times at 20 atmospheres.Although negative pressure was held for 15 seconds, the bdc only partially deflated.The bdc was able to be retracted into the guiding catheter and both were removed from the patient anatomy as a single unit.The procedure was successfully completed with the patient in good condition.There were no adverse patient sequela and a procedural delay of three hours occurred due to the surgical intervention for the first trek balloon.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported deflation problem was unable to be confirmed however the lot is associated with a potential product quality issue related to manufacturing.A review of the lot history record identified one manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified two other similar incidents from this lot.One sterile/unused device was returned and tested.The balloon catheter was pressurized to the rated burst pressure (rbp) of 18 atmospheres and the balloon fully inflated.The deflation times met specification and the balloon folded flat all three times.The complaint investigation determined the reported deflation problem is related to a potential manufacturing issue associated with deflation issues.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.
