As reported, a 4mm x 10cm x 90cm saber percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter had contrast media leakage from its proximal shaft part that was confirmed.Therefore, it was replaced with a same size new unknown balloon catheter and the procedure was completed.There was no reported patient injury.This was a shunt pta case.Multiple attempts were made without success to obtain the device.Additional information was requested but was not obtained.The device was not returned for evaluation.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82189387 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿body/shaft leakage - in-patient¿ was not confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause cannot be determined.It is likely vessel characteristics, although unknown, and/or procedural factors may have contributed to the reported event.However, without the return of the device for analysis it is difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the event reported.According to the instructions for use, which are not intended to mitigate risk, ¿prior to angioplasty, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and integrity, and ensure that its size and shape are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used.Do not use if product damage is suspected or evident.To reduce the potential for vessel damage or the risk of dislodgement of particles it is very important that the inflated diameter of the balloon should approximate the diameter of the vessel just proximal and distal to the lesion.Proper functioning of the catheter depends on its integrity.Care should be used when handling the catheter.Damage may result from kinking, stretching, or forceful wiping of the catheter.Forceful handling can result in catheter separation and the subsequent need to use a snare or other medical interventional techniques to retrieve the pieces.¿ 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.
