Event or Problem Description
As reported, a 5mm x 4cm x 90cm saber percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter was used for post dilation; but it ruptured within its nominal pressure.There was no reported patient injury.The lesion was the superficial femoral artery (sfa) which had chronic total occlusion (cto), mild tortuosity, and moderate calcification.An ipsilateral approach was made.There were no difficulty noted in the balloon during prep.There were no difficulties removing the product from the hoop, the protective balloon cover, the stylet or any of the sterile packaging components.There were no kinks or other damages noted prior to inserting the product the product into the patient.A competitor's contrast media and inflation device was used.The inflation device was successfully used with other devices.There was no resistance/friction while inserting the balloon through the rotating hemostatic valve or the guide catheter.The catheter has never been in an acute bend.The product removed intact (in one piece) from the patient.The device will not be returned for evaluation.No other information was provided.
