Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a mildly tortuous, 60% stenosed lesion in the left anterior descending (lad) artery.An unspecified stent was implanted and a 3.5x15mm trek rx balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced and used for post-dilatation without issue.The balloon was inflated 2 times to 10 atmospheres (atm).During deflation of the trek balloon, the physician believed that it took too long to deflate the balloon, however it did fully deflate, and it is unknown how long negative was held for during deflation.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

H6: medical device problem code 2017 - incorrect contrast mix.Visual, dimensional and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported deflation issue was not confirmed.There were no anomalies noted during deflation and the balloon was folded in trifold state after each deflation, thus the reported complaint was not confirmed.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.It was reported that the contrast mix used during the procedure was 30 percent contrast and 70 percent saline.It should be noted that the trek rx coronary dilatation catheters (cdc), global instructions for use (ifu) specifies that the contrast is 60% contrast medium diluted 1:1 with normal saline.In this case, since the contrast ratio used was less than the required percentage it is unknown if the ifu violation caused or contributed to the reported complaint.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported deflation issue.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
