Manufacturer Narrative

Device code 2017- incorrect prep. Product performance engineering reviewed the incident information; however, the product 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. In this case, the device was inflated once prior to the balloon rupture without any issue/ leak noted, which would suggest that the device was not damaged prior to the balloon rupture. It should be noted that the cdc, nc trek rx, global, instructions for use states: prepare an inflation device with the recommended contrast medium according to the manufacturer¿s instructions. Evacuate air from the balloon segment using the following procedure: fill a 20 cc syringe or the inflation device with approximately 4 cc of the recommended contrast medium. After attaching the syringe or inflation device to the balloon inflation lumen, orient the dilatation catheter with the distal tip and the balloon pointing in a downward vertical position. In this case, the reported ifu violation of the preparation of the device while in the anatomy did not cause or contributed to the reported balloon rupture. The investigation determined the reported balloon rupture appear to be related to operational circumstances of the procedure. Based on the reported information, it is likely that during the second inflation, the balloon became damaged or compromised against the 90% stenosed anatomy and/or other devices used resulting in the reported balloon rupture during the second inflation at 14 atmospheres. There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling. Na.

Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion with 90% stenosis in the left anterior descending artery. Reportedly, a 3. 75 x 12 mm nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was prepped (air aspiration) inside the anatomy. The bdc was advanced; however, the balloon ruptured during the second inflation at 14 atmospheres. The bdc was simply removed and a same size non-abbott balloon was used to complete the procedure. There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure. No additional information was provided.
