Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned for evaluation.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.The investigation determined the reported complaints appear to be related to operational context.It was reported by the account that the balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was overinflated to 20 atmospheres (atms) and the balloon rupture.It should be noted that the coronary dilatation catheters (cdc), trek rx and mini trek rx, global, instruction for use (ifu) states: balloon pressure should not exceed the rated burst pressure (rbp).The rbp for the trek rx device is 14 atm; therefore, rbp was exceeded.In this case, it is likely that the ifu deviation and the heavily calcified anatomy resulted in the reported balloon rupture.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
