Summary of event: as reported, during angioplasty, an advance 18 lp low profile pta balloon dilatation catheter ruptured prior to reaching nominal pressure.An unspecified cook 5 french sheath was utilized during the procedure.The balloon ruptured at six atmospheres and was then removed from the patient.The balloon catheter and sheath were not removed as a unit.Another device of the same type was used to complete the procedure.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, drawings, instructions for use (ifu), quality control procedures, and specifications were conducted during the investigation.A visual inspection and functional test of the returned complaint was also conducted.The complaint device was returned to cook for investigation.A pinhole was noted in the balloon during inflation of the device.Cook completed a review of the device history record (dhr).The dhr for the reported lot found one relevant non-conformance for a failed leak test on one device.Although the nonconformance is relevant to the reported failure mode, all nonconforming product was scrapped, and there are 100% inspections to capture this non-conformance.A database search for complaints on the reported lot found no additional complaints reported from the field.Adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot related complaints that have been received from the field, it was concluded that there is no evidence that non-conforming product exists in house or in field.The instructions for use (ifu) provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: balloon introduction and inflation: ¿apply negative pressure to lumen labeled ¿balloon¿ prior to introduction.Advance the balloon dilation catheter counter-clockwise over a per-positioned.018 (0.46 mm) wire guide.If balloon pressure is lost and/ or balloon rupture occurs, deflate balloon and remove balloon and sheath as a unit.¿ how supplied: ¿store in a dark, dry, cool place.Avoid extended exposure to light.¿ the information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, ifu, and investigation of the returned device suggests that there is no evidence the device was manufactured out of specification.Based upon the available information the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that component failure unrelated to manufacturing or design contributed to this incident.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.Per the quality engineering risk assessment, no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
