H10: manufacturing review: a device history record review was conducted and there was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Per the complaint history review (chr), this is the first complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.Investigation summary: one sample was returned for evaluation.The result of the investigation is confirmed for the reported material rupture issue.There was a pinhole rupture observed in the balloon located 10mm from the proximal markerband.The investigation is also noted a kink on the inner at the proximal cone.This inner damage is unlikely to be manufacturing related as a 100% visual inspection for catheter defects is performed during catheter production.There were also 7 bends noted along the length of the hypotube likely due to method of packaging returned.The root cause for the reported material rupture issue could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications and device evaluation.Labeling review: instruction for use for sleek pta rapid exchange (rx) dilatation catheter product family was reviewed the following sections are applicable: balloon characteristics: please check the package label for the rated burst pressure (rbp).It is important that the balloon not be inflated beyond the rated burst pressure.Pressures in excess of rated burst pressure may cause the balloon to burst.Compliance charts are provided with each product.The semi-compliant balloon has a 8% ± 4% growth in diameter from nominal to rated burst pressure.All inflations should be viewed under fluoroscopy.The sleek® balloons reach their nominal diameter at 6 atm (608 kpa).Warnings: do not exceed the rated burst pressure.A syringe with pressure gauge is recommended to monitor pressure.Pressure in excess of the rated burst pressure can cause balloon rupture and potential inability to withdraw the catheter through the introducer sheath.Use only an endoflator or 20 ml syringe for inflation.Do not exceed the following rated burst pressures: 16 atm/1621 kpa (40 - 60 mm), 15 atm /1520 kpa (80 - 220 mm).Precautions: if resistance is felt upon removal, then the balloon, guidewire and the sheath/ guide catheter should be removed together as a unit, particularly if balloon rupture or leakage is known or suspected.This may be accomplished by firmly grasping the balloon catheter and sheath/guide catheter as a unit and withdrawing both together, using a gently twisting motion combined with traction.Before removing catheter from sheath/guide catheter it is very important that the balloon is completely deflated.H10: d4 (expiry date: 10/2022).H11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.H3 other text : see h10.
