Event Description
|
It was reported that deflation failure occurred.The 80%stenosed target lesion was located in the non tortuous and non calcified saphenous vein graft.A 5.00 x 20mm synergy xd drug-eluting stent was deployed at nominal pressure for treatment.Post stent deployment, it was observed that the balloon did not deflate properly and the balloon did not rewrap.After the balloon was deflated for one minute, an attempt was made to remove the balloon but it would not go back into the 6 fr guide catheter.An indeflator was attached and pulled negative pressure several times and the balloon was finally pulled back into the guide catheter and removed in partially inflated state to complete the procedure.There were no patient complications reported.

Device evaluated by mfr: a synergy xd mr ous us 5.00 x 20mm stent delivery system was returned for analysis without the stent.An examination of the crimped stent found that the stent was not returned for analysis as it was successfully deployed at the lesion site.The balloon was reviewed, and it appeared to be in a deflated state with signs of positive pressure being applied to its cones noted.A visual and microscopic examination of the bumper tip showed no issues.A visual and tactile examination of the hypotube found multiple kinks along the length of the hypotube shaft.A visual and tactile examination of the outer and mid-shaft section and a visual examination of the inner lumen found no issues along the shaft polymer extrusion.The device was soaked overnight in a water bath at 37 degrees.The device was tracked without issues on a 0.0140 test guidewire and loaded without issues on a 6f test guidecatheter.An inflation/deflation test was performed using an encore device verified with a druck gauge to 16 atmospheres and the device inflated, maintained pressure, and deflated within 26 seconds as per instructions for use.No leaks, loss of pressure or any other damage was noted on the balloon.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
