Event or Problem Description
|
|
A shockwave m5 peripheral lithotripsy (ivl) device was used to treat a superficial femoral artery (sfa).The ivl catheter completed all 300 pulses without incident.The physician decided to go back to post-dilate the proximal popliteal to proximal sfa with the same ivl balloon at 8atm, which is outside the instructions for use for the m5 device.During the final inflation, a balloon loss of pressure occurred.Upon attempted removal of the ivl catheter, the balloon portion was found to be detached from the ivl catheter.Angiogram was used to locate the detached balloon in the proximal sfa.The physician elected to perform a surgical cutdown of the sfa to retrieve the detached balloon, and all detached components were successfully removed from the patient.The physician believes that a sharp piece of calcium in the proximal sfa may have caused the balloon loss of pressure and subsequent detached component.To date, no patient sequelae has been reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Based on an investigation of the returned device, the balloon and the distal portion of the catheter were not received for investigation.The balloon tore over the proximal marker band.The event details indicate that the device was inflated to 8 atm.The ifu contains a note that 4 atm is the lithotripsy treatment balloon pressure & 6 atm is nominal balloon pressure and post-treatment angioplasty pressure.Per the event details, all detached components were successfully removed from the patient via surgical cutdown.The reported failure was confirmed.Based on the investigation observations and additional information received from the reporting party, the balloon loss of pressure and subsequent detachment of balloon components could possibly be attributed to post-dilatation of the vessel at 8 atm in the presence of calcium, exceeding the specified inflation pressure of 6 atm in the device instructions for use.The balloon likely tore due to the patient calcium during retraction of the guide catheter.Shockwave medical has controls in place to ensure devices are built to approved procedures and meet lot release acceptance criteria prior to being distributed.A review of the manufacturing and test documentation for subject lot does not reveal any issues with the manufacturing of the device.The device passed all of shockwave medical, inc.Acceptance criteria prior to shipping.
