H10: manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the first complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.However, the device history records were reviewed and there was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for these reports.Investigation summary: the sample was returned for evaluation.The returned sample exhibited a balloon rupture, of approximately 0.5mm in size at the distal marker band.The returned device revealed a stretched inner and outer, the patency of the sleek device was performed using an inhouse 0.014" guidewire but was unsuccessful as the guidewire would not proceed past midway in the balloon.Therefore, the investigation is confirmed for the reported issues.The definitive root cause for the reported material rupture issue could not be determined based upon the available information.Labeling review: the instructions for use was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: balloon characteristics ¿ please check the package label for the rated burst pressure (rbp).It is important that the balloon not be inflated beyond the rated burst pressure.Pressures in excess of rated burst pressure may cause the balloon to burst.Warnings: ¿ do not exceed the rated burst pressure.A syringe with pressure gauge is recommended to monitor pressure.Pressure in excess of the rated burst pressure can cause balloon rupture and potential inability to withdraw the catheter through the introducer sheath.¿ use a 20 ml or larger syringe for inflation.Precautions: ¿ if resistance is felt upon removal, then the balloon, guidewire and the sheath/guide catheter should be removed together as a unit, particularly if balloon rupture or leakage is known or suspected.This may be accomplished by firmly grasping the balloon catheter and sheath/guide catheter as a unit and withdrawing both together, using a gently twisting motion combined with traction.Directions for use: inspection and preparation ¿ remove the balloon sleeve by first withdrawing the shipping mandrel slightly and then slowly removing the sleeve while holding the catheter as close to the balloon as possible.¿ if any resistance is felt, or if any stretching of the catheter is observed while removing the balloon sleeve, the product should not be used.¿ the catheter should then be inspected for bends, kinks or stretched portions.Do not use if product damage is evident.¿ prepare a mixture of contrast medium and normal saline as per normal procedure.(recommended 25%/75%) ¿ attach a stopcock and a 20 ml syringe half filled with the contrast solution to the balloon port.¿ point the syringe nozzle downward and aspirate until all air is removed from the balloon.¿ turn the stopcock off and maintain the vacuum in the balloon.¿ purge the catheter through lumen thoroughly.¿ reinserting the balloon into the balloon sleeve may damage the balloon or catheter.Procedure: insertion and inflation procedure: note: a 0.014¿ (0.356 mm) guidewire must be inserted in the sleek otw catheter across the balloon during any inflation of the balloon.Make sure that the balloon sleeve has been removed from the catheter balloon.Enter the vessel percutaneously using the standard seldinger technique over the appropriate guidewire for the size catheter being used.Advance the catheter across the lesion with fluoroscopic guidance using accepted percutaneous transluminal angioplasty technique and inflate the balloon to the appropriate pressure.Note: do not inflate the balloon or advance the catheter unless the guidewire is in place.H10: d4 (expiry date: 03/2024), g3, h6 (device) h11: h6 (method, result, conclusion) h11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.H3 other text : see h10.
