Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unchanged, or unavailable.Summary of event: as reported, during a tibial angioplasty, an advance 14 lp low profile balloon catheter's balloon leaked upon the first inflation.An unspecified inflation device was used to inflate the balloon to eight atmospheres one time, at which point the balloon leaked.The balloon was not inflated within a stent.Another balloon was used to complete the procedure.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Investigation evaluation: reviews of the complaint history, device history record, drawing, instructions for use (ifu), and quality control procedures were conducted during the investigation.A visual inspection and functional test of the complaint device was also conducted.The complaint device was returned to cook for investigation.A pinhole leak was noted in the balloon, near the distal marker band.A document-based investigation evaluation was performed.There have been no other reported complaints for this lot number.There were no non-conformances noted on the final lot.Seven related non-conformances were noted on subassembly lots; however, all affected product was scrapped and there are 100% inspections in place to capture the non-conformance.The product ifu states ¿particular care should be taken in handling the balloon to prevent damage.¿ the information provided upon review of the dmr, dhr, ifu, and investigation of the returned device suggests that there is evidence the device was manufactured to specification.There is no evidence of non-conforming devices in-house or in the field.Although seven relevant non-conformances were noted on sub-assembly lots, all non-conforming product was scrapped, there are 100% inspections in place to capture this non-conformance, adequate inspection activities have been established, there is objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot-related complaints have been received from the field.Therefore, it was concluded that there is no evidence that additional non-conforming product exists in house or in the field.Cook has concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.Based on the information provided and the results of the investigation, cook has concluded that a component failure contributed to this event.The risk analysis for this failure mode was reviewed and no additional escalation was required.The appropriate personnel have been notified and cook will continue to monitor for similar events.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
