Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the superficial femoral artery.A 5x250mm armada 35 percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) catheter faced resistance with a non-abbott guide wire and non-abbott guiding catheter during advancement.The pta balloon failed to inflate, and the device failed to hold pressure.No tear was noted.A 5x200mm armada was used to successfully complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

A visual, dimensional and functional inspection was performed on the returned balloon catheter.The reported difficulties were unable to be confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents and/or complaints reported from this lot.Factors that may contribute to difficulty inflating the device may include, but are not limited to, damage to the device, contamination in the inflation lumen, patient anatomical morphology, patient disease state, inflation/deflation technique, contrast dilution, inadequate connection to the inflation device, and/or accessory device support.To help ensure this difficulty is not related to a manufacturing issue, all balloon catheters are inspected/tested in manufacturing.Based on the limited information provided, the investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficult to advance, inflation problem and leak.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
