After further review of additional information received the following sections have been updated accordingly: complaint conclusion: as reported, the balloon of an aviator plus.014 5.0x20 142cm percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter burst after it was inflated several times within the specified pressure.It was replaced with a new unknown aviator and the procedure was completed.There was no reported patient injury.The procedure was a "bpa" case.The product was not returned for analysis as it was discarded.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82228500 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿balloon burst - at/below rbp¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause could not be determined.Vessel characteristics and procedural factors, although unknown, may have contributed to the reported event.However, without the return of the device for analysis and with the limited amount of information provided, it is difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the event reported.According to the warnings in the safety information in the instructions for use ¿prior to use, the device should be examined to verify functionality and integrity and ensure that its size is suitable for the specific procedure.Do not exceed the rated burst pressure recommended on the label.The rated burst pressure is based on the results of in-vitro testing.At least 99.9% of the balloons (with a 95% confidence) will not burst at or below their rated burst pressure.Use of a pressure-monitoring device is recommended to prevent over-pressurization.Use only the recommended balloon inflation medium (a 50/50 mixture by volume of contrast medium and normal saline).Never use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon¿.Neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.
