Event or Problem Description
|
|
As reported, the balloon of a palmaz long genesis on.035¿ 29 x 70 x 135 opta pro balloon expandable stent delivery system was suspected to have a leak and would not hold pressure during inflation to fully expand/deploy the stent.Therefore, it was replaced with a non-cordis balloon to finish expanding the stent to profile in the right renal artery.There was no reported patient injury.The device is stored and monitored in the wavemark technology cabinets.The device will not be returned for evaluation.

The balloon of a palmaz long genesis on.035¿ 29 x 70 x 135 opta pro balloon expandable stent delivery system was suspected to have a leak and would not hold pressure during inflation to fully expand/deploy the stent.Therefore, it was replaced with a non-cordis balloon to finish expanding the stent to profile in the right renal artery.There was no reported patient injury.The product was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82167584 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿balloon burst-at/below rbp¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause could not be determined.Vessel characteristics, although unknown, may have contributed to the reported event as calcification is known to cause damage to balloons.According to the safety information in the instructions for use ¿the cordis palmaz genesis transhepatic biliary stent on opta pro.035¿ delivery system is indicated for palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree.The safety and effectiveness of the palmaz genesis transhepatic biliary stent on opta pro.035¿ delivery system for use in the vascular system have not been established.Prior to stenting, the palmaz genesis transhepatic biliary stent on opta pro.035¿ delivery system should be examined to verify functionality and integrity.¿ this product is not indicated for use in the vascular system, therefore this is considered off label usage.Neither the phr nor the limited information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.
