Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The device is expected to be returned for investigation.It has not yet been received.A follow-up report will be submitted with all additional relevant information.

Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the atrioventricular (av) fistula.A 6x80mm armada 35 percutaneous transluminal balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion without issue and was inflated the first time, 1 atmosphere above the rated burst pressure (rbp).The second inflation was to 14 atm when the balloon ruptured at the lesion.During withdrawal of the ruptured balloon, resistance was felt between the ruptured balloon and the anatomy, and the balloon separated in the av fistula.The fistula had to be cut open and the ruptured balloon piece removed, ending the procedure.There was a reported delay in the procedure due to the cut down, but no adverse patient sequela and no clinically significant delay in procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.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 from this lot.It was reported that the balloon was overinflated the first time, 1 atmosphere above the rated burst pressure (rbp).It should be noted that the percutaneous transluminal angioplasty catheter (pta), armada 35, instruction for use (ifu) states: ¿inflation in excess of the rated burst pressure may cause the balloon to rupture.Use of a pressure monitoring device is recommended.The rated burst pressure for this device is 16 atmospheres as indicated on the product label.It could not be determined if inflating the balloon slightly over the rated burst pressure contributed to the rupture.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported balloon rupture; however, the reported difficulty removing the device and balloon separation appear to be related to operational context.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture or labeling of the device.D9, h3: device was not available for evaluation.
