Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a right coronary artery.A 5x15mm nc trek balloon was advanced to the lesion for post-dilatation.The balloon was inflated once at 8 atmospheres but when attempted to be deflated, negative was pulled for at least 30-40 seconds but the balloon only partially deflated.It was attempted to troubleshoot by inflating and deflating again, but failed to deflate completely.The balloon, guide catheter and guide wire were removed altogether as a single unit as the balloon was unable to be withdrawn simply via the guide catheter.The procedure was discontinued thereafter.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Visual and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported deflation issue, failure to fold and difficulty removing the device were able 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 from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported deflation issue; however, the reported difficulty removing the device and failure to fold appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
