It was reported that the procedure was to perform recanalization and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) of the lower left leg using the antegrade approach.Three armada balloon dilatation catheters (bdc) were attempted to be used in the procedure; however, two of the armada balloons failed to deflate properly and both were difficult to remove.After removal, the balloons were noted to be twisted.In the physician opinion the material of the pta balloons is weaker causing balloon twisting [torsion].A third armada bdc was attempted to be used in the procedure; however, the balloon was noted to have a leak at the hub.Another armada 14 balloon was used to complete the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Visual, functional and scanning electron microscopy (sem) analysis were performed on the returned device.The reported leak was confirmed.The production record review was 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 leak was observed coming out of the distal end of the stain relief tubing.It was determined the device leakage from the distal end of the luer may possibly be attributed to a gap/channel in the adhesive at the distal bond area.The investigation determined the noted leak appears to be related to a potential product quality issue.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.D1 correction: brand name updated d2a correction: common device name updated d3 correction: name, address updated d4 correction: catalog number updated from unk armada to a1025-040 d4 correction: lot number updated from unknown to 3032841 d4 correction: primary udi number updated.
