Event or Problem Description
A passeo-18 balloon catheter was chosen for treatment of a moderately calcified lesion (95 percent stenosis degree) in the moderately tortuous right lower limb artery.The device was used for pre-dilatation.During inflation the pressure reached six bar, but then went down to zero.It was noticed that the balloon has ruptured.The passeo-18 was removed and another balloon was used to finish the procedure.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The returned instrument was subjected to a technical analysis and the corresponding product release documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for the reported event.The technical investigation revealed a fine jet of water emerging from the center of the balloon when attempting inflation.Microscopic analysis of the balloon surface showed a small pinhole about 45 mm proximal to the distal x-ray marker.In close vicinity of the pinhole scratches were observed which have likely been caused by a hard, sharp-edged object such as e.G.Anatomical structure.Review of the product release documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.In addition to visual inspections each instrument is tested for air tightness by means of a helium leak test and a pressure test.We can therefore confirm that the instrument was delivered in a leak-proof condition.Based on the conducted investigations, no material or manufacturing related root cause was determined.The root cause for the reported event is most likely related to the patients anatomy.
