Patient id: (b)(6).It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the left peroneal artery.Pre-dilatation was performed with a 3.0 x 12 mm trek balloon dilatation catheter.The dilatation catheter balloon was inflated 1 time to 8 atmospheres and blood was noted in the balloon hub.During withdrawal of the device, the nc trek dilatation catheter balloon separated into several pieces that broke off the distal tip of the balloon.The fragments embolized to the distal peroneal artery and the superficial femoral artery (sfa).The fragments were removed with a snare device; however, a larger balloon fragment was stuck to the wall of the sfa and was covered with an absolute stent.Flow was restored to the peroneal and sfa.There was no additional information provided.

The device was not returned for evaluation.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 reported patient effect of embolism is listed in the coronary dilatation catheters (cdc), trek rx global, instructions for use (ifu) as a known patient effect.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported separations; however, the reported device embedded in tissue or plaque, additional treatment and removal of foreign body appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.A conclusive cause for the reported embolism and the relationship to the device, if any, cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.H6: medical device problem code 1546 removed.
