As reported, the powerflex pro 7mm 4cm was noted to have a hole during prep of the device.The was noticed due to leakage.The complaint device was not used for the procedure.The case was completed by using another unknown device.There was no reported injury to the patient.This was an evt case.The product was stored properly according to the instructions for use (ifu).There was no difficulty removing the product from the hoop, removing the protective balloon cover, stylet, or sterile packaging components.There were no kinks or other damages noted prior to inserting the product into the patient.The device was prepped per the ifu.The device prepped normally and was able to maintain negative pressure.The device was not returned for analysis as it was discarded.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82220699 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿balloon - leakage - during negative prep¿ was not confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause cannot be determined.Based on the information available for review, and without the return of the device for analysis, it is difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the reported event.However, procedural factors and handling of the device may have contributed to the customer report.According to the instructions for use, ¿preparation: 1.Attach a 3-way stopcock to the inflation port, which is marked ¿balloon¿.2.Attach a partially filled syringe with heparinized saline to the stopcock, open the stopcock to the balloon and induce negative pressure.3.Hold the syringe and proximal end of the catheter above the distal end of the catheter, and hold the balloon vertically with the balloon tip pointing down.4.While maintaining negative pressure close the stopcock to the inflation port.Remove the syringe and purge the air.5.To ensure air contained in the balloon and inflation lumen is removed, apply negative pressure twice as instructed and repeat steps 2-4.6.Without twisting, slide the forming tube off the balloon.7.Prepare an angioplasty inflation system with a 50% solution of contrast medium in sterile saline or similar solution.8.Purge the air from the inflation device.9.Connect the inflation device to the 3-way stopcock that is connected to the catheter inflation port, open the stopcock to the catheter and slowly fill the inflation lumen and the balloon will slowly fill with diluted contrast medium.Caution: do not apply positive or negative pressure to the balloon at this time.¿ neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event.Therefore, no corrective or preventive action will be taken at this time.
