Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a left femoral arteriovenous (av) graft.An 8x80mm armada 35 and 7x40mm armada 35 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) were being used in the procedure and advanced separately to the av graft.Both balloons were inflated two to three times each, to 13 atmospheres (atm) when the balloons ruptured.In an attempt to pull the balloons back into the sheath for removal, a separation occurred.Some of the balloon pieces were removed from the anatomy with endoscopic forceps.The patient¿s entire anatomy was x-rayed to try to find the remaining broken portion of the balloon, but it was unable to be found.The patient came back to the operating room on the (b)(6) 2021; however, the outcome from that procedure is unknown.It was noted that ¿it is less likely that the balloons ruptured, but instead were snagged on stents that were already in place in the patient¿s leg¿.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device is expected to be returned for evaluation.It has not yet been received.A follow up report will be submitted with all additional relevant information.The other armada balloon is filed under a separate medwatch report number.

Manufacturer Narrative

Visual analysis was performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture and separation were confirmed.The difficulty removing was not tested due to the condition of the device.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 complaints reported from this lot.The investigation determined that the reported difficulties and subsequent treatments were likely due to circumstances of the procedure.It is likely that the balloon ruptures were the result of interaction with the anatomy or arteriovenous (av) graft.There were no leaks reported during preparation and it was reported that the ruptures occurred during the second to third inflation, suggesting that the damage was not pre-existing.In addition, the difficulty reported during removal and separation of the balloon was likely the result of the ruptured balloon material catching on the introducer sheath during removal.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.Na.
