Event or Problem Description

Physician was attempting to use nanocross pta along with a 7fr sheath, 0.014" spider guidewire and embolic protection during procedure to treat a little calcified plaque lesion in the mid superficial femoral artery with chronic total occlusion (cto-100%).The vessel was little tortuous.A non-medtronic inflation device was used for balloon inflation.A 50% heparinized saline/50% omnipaque 350 was used for inflation fluid.There was no damage noted to packaging.The device was prepped per ifu with no issues identified.Balloon deflation difficulties occurred.The device would not deflate at the lesion site.The device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.There was no resistance encountered when advancing the device.It was reported that the balloon was deflated very little and pulled through the sheath.The balloon was used post atherectomy and would not deflate properly.Physician pulled balloon out through the sheath still not completely deflated.A white piece between the hub and catheter (piece that protects the transition into hub was not in the proper place and was down the shaft of catheter upon removal out of loop).It was manually pushed back into place and was a little hard at first to inflate.There was no patient injury.
