Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H10: manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the first complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.Therefore, a device history record review is not required.Investigation summary: the device was not returned for evaluation.The result of the investigation is inconclusive for the reported device deflation and removal issues.The root cause for the reported device deflation and removal issues could not be determined based upon the available information.Labeling review: the instructions for use for the sleek otw product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: balloon characteristics ¿ please check the package label for the rated burst pressure (rbp).It is important that the balloon not be inflated beyond the rated burst pressure.Pressures in excess of rated burst pressure may cause the balloon to burst.Compliance charts are provided with each product.Please note that balloon diameters may vary within manufacturing tolerances.All inflations should be viewed under fluoroscopy.The sleek® otw balloons reach their nominal diameter at 6 atm (608 kpa).Precautions ¿ if resistance is felt upon removal, then the balloon, guidewire and the sheath/guide catheter should be removed together as a unit, particularly if balloon rupture or leakage is known or suspected.This may be accomplished by firmly grasping the balloon catheter and sheath/guide catheter as a unit and withdrawing both together, using a gently twisting motion combined with traction.¿ before removing catheter from sheath/guide catheter it is very important that the balloon is completely deflated.¿ proper functioning of the catheter depends on its integrity.Care should be used when handling the catheter.Damage may result from kinking, stretching, or forceful wiping of the catheter.Procedure: insertion and inflation procedure: note: a 0.014¿ (0.356 mm) guidewire must be inserted in the sleek® otw catheter across the balloon during any inflation of the balloon.Make sure that the balloon sleeve has been removed from the catheter balloon.Enter the vessel percutaneously using the standard seldinger technique over the appropriate guidewire for the size catheter being used.Advance the catheter across the lesion with fluoroscopic guidance using accepted percutaneous transluminal angioplasty technique and inflate the balloon to the appropriate pressure.Note: do not inflate the balloon or advance the catheter unless the guidewire is in place.Deflation and withdrawal ¿ deflate the balloon by drawing a vacuum with a 20 ml or larger syringe.Note: the larger the syringe diameter, the greater the suction that is applied.For maximum deflation a 50 ml syringe is recommended.¿ gently withdraw the catheter.As the balloon exits the vessel, use a smooth, gentle, steady, counterclockwise motion.If resistance is felt upon removal then the balloon and the sheath should be removed together as a unit under fluoroscopic guidance, particularly if balloon rupture or leakage is known or suspected.This may be accomplished by firmly grasping the balloon catheter and sheath as a unit and withdrawing both together, using a gentle twisting motion combined with traction.¿ apply pressure to the insertion site according to standard practice or hospital protocol for percutaneous vascular procedures.H10: g3, h6 (method) h11: h6 (result, conclusion) h11: section a through f: the information provide by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
