During use, the saber 2.5mm x 25cm balloon catheter and balloon were punctured by the wire when loading it over the wire.There was no patient injury.The device was prepped per the instruction for use (ifu) and there was no difficulty noted in the balloon during prep.There were no difficulties removing the product from the hoop, the protective balloon cover, the stylet, or any of the sterile packaging components.There were no kinks or other damages noted prior to inserting the product into the patient.Femoral retrograde access was made.No other information was provided.The product was not returned for analysis as it was discarded.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82226769 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿body/shaft puncture/cut¿ was not confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause cannot be determined.It is likely handling of the device, procedural factors, and/or vessel characteristics may have contributed to the event reported by the customer.However, without the return of the device for analysis it is difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and event reported.According to the safety information of the instructions for use ¿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.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.Always verify integrity of the catheter after removal.¿ neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event.Therefore, no corrective or preventive actions will be taken at this time.
