Manufacturer Narrative

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.Based on the review of similar incident(s) there is no indication of a lot specific product quality issue.The device was prepped prior to use without any leaks or ruptures noted, which would suggest that the device was not damaged prior to use.The investigation determined the reported balloon rupture, difficulty to remove and separation appear to be related to operational circumstances of the procedure.In this case, it is likely that during advancement the balloon became compromised against the anatomy and/or other devise used resulting in the reported balloon rupture during the first inflation at 4 atmospheres.Handling of the device post balloon rupture likely reduces the clearance of the wire lumen and the difficulty to remove the guide wire.Manipulation against resistance ultimately resulted in the reported separation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.Attachment: user facility medwatchreport number mw5099757.B5: additional information d9: device available for evaluation was updated from "yes" to "no".H3: reason device not evaluated by mfg was updated to na.H6: code 1528 difficult to remove was added due to additional information in b5.
