Event or Problem Description
A passeo-18 balloon catheter was chosen for treatment.The balloon was placed properly inside the lesion.As the balloon was inflated up to 6 bar the pressure of the balloon would slowly turn down.To keep the balloon inflated at 6 bar it was necessary to keep on giving more pressure.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The returned instrument was subjected to a technical analysis and the corresponding product release documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for the reported event.The technical investigation revealed a fine jet of water emerging from the center of the balloon when attempting inflation.Microscopic analysis of the balloon surface showed a small pinhole with longitudinal orientation about 105 mm proximal to the distal x-ray marker.At the origin of the pinhole scratches were observed which have likely been caused by a hard, sharp-edged object such as e.G.Anatomical structure.Review of the product release documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.In addition to visual inspections each instrument is tested for air tightness by means of a helium leak test and a pressure test.We can therefore confirm that the instrument was delivered in a leak-proof condition.Based on the conducted investigations, no manufacturing or material related root cause could be determined.The root cause is most likely related to the patients anatomy.
