Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 70% stenosed lesion in the posterior tibial artery with moderate calcification and moderate tortuosity.The 2.5x120mm armada 14 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion and the balloon was inflated to nominal pressure; however, the balloon ruptured during the first inflation.Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.A 3x120mm armada balloon was used to complete the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Visual and functional analysis were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was confirmed.The production record and corrective and preventive actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar complaints from this lot.The investigation determined that the reported balloon rupture appears to be related to operational context.In this case, it is likely that the balloon interacted with the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified anatomy such that the balloon became damaged and subsequently ruptured during inflation.Based on the reported information, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
