Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion located in an unspecified coronary artery.The nc trek rx balloon could not be inflated.Another balloon was used to complete the procedure.There were no reported adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.Returned device analysis noted a leak in the balloon and a longitudinal rupture.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned to abbott vascular for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents reported from this lot.The device was prepped prior to use and inflated multiple times without issue or leaks noted, which would suggest that the device was not damaged prior to use.The investigation determined the reported inflation issue appears to be related to operational circumstances of the procedure.Based on the reported information, it is likely that during the multiple inflations and reinsertions the balloon catheter shafts likely became damaged or stretched resulting in the reported inflation issue.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.Description of event returned device was not related to event; therefore, no device available for evaluation.

Event Description

Subsequent to the initial 30-day medwatch report, the following information was received: the balloon was inflated without issue, then removed from the anatomy; however, after re-introducing the balloon into the anatomy and attempting to use the balloon a second time, the balloon failed to inflate.The returned device mentioned on the initial 30-day report did not belong to this complaint.No additional information was provided.
