Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
As reported, the doctor reported that the maxi ld 14x4 balloon burst after being inflated respecting the nominal pressure.There was no reported injury to the patient.Additional information was requested; however, was not obtained after multiple attempts made.The device was not returned for analysis after multiple attempts were made.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82246340 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿balloon burst - at/below rbp¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause could not be determined.There is no additional information regarding patient, lesion, or procedural characteristics regarding this event.With the limited amount of information available and without the return of the product for analysis it is difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the event reported.Nevertheless, it is likely vessel characteristics and procedural factors contributed to the reported event.According to the safety information in the instructions for use ¿note: the rated burst pressure is printed on the package label.In vitro testing has shown that with 95% confidence, 99.9% of the balloons will not burst at or below the rated pressure.Balloons should not be inflated in excess of the rated burst pressure.Prior to angioplasty, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and ensure that its size and shape are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used.Carefully advance the catheter through a sheath or through the percutaneous entry site.Note: gentle counterclockwise rotation of the balloon may ease introduction through the sheath or percutaneous entry site.Note: perform all further catheter manipulations under fluoroscopy.Carefully advance the catheter to the selected site.Caution: if strong resistance is met during advancement or withdrawal of the catheter, discontinue movement and determine the cause of resistance before proceeding.If the cause of resistance cannot be determined, withdraw the entire system.¿ 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.
