Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat an anterior tibial artery.A 2.5x200mm armada 14 was advanced to the lesion and inflated once at 12 atmospheres without issue.However, when attempting to deflate, the device was held negative for over 5 seconds but the balloon took a prolonged time to eventually deflate completely so that it can be used for another lesion.When attempted to advance to another lesion, it failed to cross.It was decided then to simply remove the device.A 2.5mm balloon was used to successfully complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned 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.Without having the device to examine, the investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported deflation and failure to advance difficulties.It may be possible that the distal shaft was kinked or entrapped within the vessel causing the inflation/deflation lumen to become blocked off; therefore, after an attempt to insert in the other lesion it was unable to advance; however, this could not be confirmed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
