Asa reported, during a peripheral artery disease procedure an advance micro ¿ 14 ultra low-profile pta balloon catheter was being used, and the balloon ruptured.The balloon was inflated once and upon the second inflation the balloon rupture occurred.The device was used with a viper 014 wire, and a 6fr 12cm access sheath was utilized.A cook inflation device was also used.The balloon was inflated to 8atm.Just the balloon was removed following the malfunction.The patient did have calcified anatomy.The lesion was located just below the tibial trunk of the peroneal artery, and the vessel was occluded less than 10 percent.The balloon was no inflated inside of a stent prior to rupture.A same type device from the same lot was used to complete the procedure.No unintended section of the device remained inside of the patient's body.No additional procedures were required due to the occurrence.No adverse effects were reported due to the occurrence.

Summary of event: as reported, during a peripheral artery disease procedure an advance micro ¿ 14 ultra low-profile pta balloon catheter was being used, and the balloon ruptured.The balloon was inflated once and upon the second inflation the balloon rupture occurred.The device was used with a viper 014 wire, and a 6fr 12cm access sheath was utilized.A cook inflation device was also used.The balloon was inflated to 8atm.Just the balloon was removed following the malfunction.The patient did have calcified anatomy.The lesion was located just below the tibial trunk of the peroneal artery, and the vessel was occluded less than 10 percent.The balloon was no inflated inside of a stent prior to rupture.A same type device from the same lot was used to complete the procedure.No unintended section of the device remained inside of the patient's body.No additional procedures were required due to the occurrence.No adverse effects were reported due to the occurrence.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, drawings, instructions for use (ifu), quality control procedures, and specifications were conducted during the investigation.The complaint device was not returned to cook for investigation.Cook completed a review of the device history record (dhr).The dhr for the reported lot recorded 1 relevant non-conformance, however, the nonconforming product was scrapped.A database search for complaints reported on the complaint lot reveal no additional complaints at this time.Therefore, cook has determined that no nonconforming product exists in house or in the field.A review of relevant manufacturing documents was conducted.It was concluded that the device aspect in question was functionally inspected by quality control and no notable gaps in production or processing controls were noted.There is no indication that a design or process related failure mode contributed to the reported event.Sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.The instructions for use (ifu) provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: warnings: do not exceed rated burst pressure.Rupture of balloon may occur.Adhere to balloon inflation pressure parameters in the compliance card insert.Over-inflation may cause rupture of the balloon, which resultant damage to the vessel wall.Use of a pressure gauge is recommended to monitor inflation pressures.Do not use a power injector for balloon inflation or injection of contrast medium through catheter lumen marked ¿distal¿.Rupture may occur.How supplied: upon removal from package, inspect the product to ensure no damage has occurred.Cook concluded that a component failure unrelated to the design or manufacturing of the device was the cause of this incident.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
