Event or Problem Description
During a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) procedure, a 7mm x 4cm 135 powerflex pro pta balloon catheter was inflated with normal pressure; however, the balloon burst, and it could not be used.There was no reported patient injury.The device will be returned for evaluation.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
During a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) procedure, a 7mm x 4cm 135 powerflex pro pta balloon catheter was inflated with normal pressure; however, the balloon burst, and it could not be used.There was no reported patient injury.The product was returned for analysis.A non-sterile powerflex pro 7mm4cm 135 percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter involved in the complaint was received for analysis coiled inside a plastic bag.Per visual analysis, an axial burst was observed on half of the balloon.No other physical characteristics could be observed at the naked eye.Per sem analysis, the balloon burst was caused by a rupture on the balloon surface.The inner surface presented no anomalies near the balloon rupture.The outer surface presented evidence of scratch marks near the balloon rupture.This type of damage is commonly caused during the interaction of the balloon material with a sharp object or mechanical damage.It is very likely that the same factors that caused the observed scratch marks on the balloon outer surface could probably led to the rupture condition found on the received device.It seems the balloon material near the rupture was torn either due to the interaction of the balloon with calcified spicules located on the lesion or with a sharp object from the outside of the balloon.No other anomalies were observed during the sem analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82180457 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¿ was confirmed during device analysis as an axial burst was noted on the balloon; however, the exact cause could not be determined.Based on the information available for review, it appears the balloon material near the rupture was torn with a sharp object from the outside of the balloon likely calcified spicules located on the lesion.However, with the limited amount of information provided regarding vessel characteristics or procedural factors it is difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the event reported.According to the safety information in the instructions for use, ¿if resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of the resistance before proceeding.Balloon pressure should not exceed the rated burst pressure.The rated burst pressure is based on the results of in vitro testing.At least 99.9% of the balloons (with a 95% confidence), will not burst at or below their rated burst pressure.Use of a pressure monitoring device is recommended to prevent over pressurization.Use only the recommended balloon inflation medium.Never use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon.Prior to angioplasty, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and ensure that its size and shape are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used.¿ neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event.Therefore, no corrective or preventive action will be taken at this time.
