Event Description

It was reported that one of the blade was missing and could not be found.The 90% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified cephalic vein.A 6.00mm/2.0cm/50cm peripheral cutting balloon was selected for use.During the procedure, the dilation was performed six times on the forearm at 10atm.Upon removal, mild and unusual resistance on the sheath part was felt.The balloon was pulled out as it was, however one out of the four blades was noted missing when checked.Ct imaging was performed from the sheath puncture part to the area around the shunt to the central vein up to the pulmonary artery, but it could not be found.The procedure was completed using this device.No further complications reported and patient was fine.

A2.Age at time of event- 70's.Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.A visual and microscopic examination was performed on the returned device.It was noted that one of the blades was completely detached from the balloon material.The entire blade pad remained bonded to the balloon material.The damage identified is consistent with excessive force being applied when resistance is encountered during the withdrawal of the device through the sheath.All other blades were intact and fully bonded to the balloon material.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied when liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole located approximately 1mm proximal of the distal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.No issue was observed with the tip or markerbands of the device which could have contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
