Event Description
|
It was reported that a balloon leak occurred.The severe stenosed target lesion was located in a fistula.A 6.00mm/2.0cm/90cm peripheral cutting balloon was selected for use.During the procedure, the balloon was not fully dilated after dilation.It was noted that a contrast agent leaked out after the pressure reached 10atm.Subsequently, the lower end of the balloon got kink and the blade was bent when the device was removed by simply pulling out from the patient's body.The procedure was completed with another of same device.No complications reported and patient was stable post procedure.

E1: initial reporter facility name: (b)(6).Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.A visual examination found no damage to the blades of the device.All blades were intact and fully bonded to the balloon material.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the device was subjected to positive pressure.The returned device was attached to a boston scientific encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied when liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole located approximately 2mm distal of the distal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and distal markerband identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The balloon could not be inflated due to the balloon pinhole.No issue was observed with the tip or markerbands of the device which could have contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination found the shaft of the device to be kinked at approximately 5mm proximal of the proximal balloon sleeve.This type of damage is consistent with excessive force being applied to the device.
