H10: manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the first complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.However, device history record review was conducted and there was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: the sample was returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.The result of the investigation is confirmed for the reported material rupture issue.A pinhole rupture was observe in the balloon 23mm from the distal tip.There was no damage noted to the balloon in the area where the pinhole rupture was located.There was blood within the balloon and there were two deep impressions observed on the outer.The outer impressions are indicative of user handling and unlikely to be manufacturing related.A 100% visual inspection for catheter defects is performed during catheter production.The definitive root cause for the reported material rupture issue could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications and sample evaluation.Labeling review: the instruction for use for the sleek otw product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: 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.Please note that balloon diameters may vary within manufacturing tolerances.All inflations should be viewed under fluoroscopy.The sleek® otw balloons reach their nominal diameter at 6 atm (608 kpa).Procedure: insertion and inflation procedure: note: a 0.014¿ (0.356 mm) guidewire must be inserted in the sleek® otw catheter across the balloon during any inflation of the balloon.Make sure that the balloon sleeve has been removed from the catheter balloon.Enter the vessel percutaneously using the standard seldinger technique over the appropriate guidewire for the size catheter being used.Advance the catheter across the lesion with fluoroscopic guidance using accepted percutaneous transluminal angioplasty technique and inflate the balloon to the appropriate pressure.Note: do not inflate the balloon or advance the catheter unless the guidewire is in place.H10: d4 (expiry date: 02/2021), g3 h11: h6 (method, result) h11: section a through f ¿ the information provide by bd represents all 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.
