Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the iliac artery with moderate calcification and moderate tortuosity.The 4x40mm armada balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion with resistance due to anatomy.Then the balloon of the bdc was inflated; however, the balloon ruptured at 8 atmospheres (atm) during the first inflation.Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient and a non-abbott balloon was used to continue the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The device was not returned for analysis.Production record and corrective and preventative 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.Based on the information received, the investigation determined that the reported complaints appear to be related to operational context.There was no leak noted to the balloon during preparation, which suggests a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported difficulties.It was reported by the account that the balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) interacted with the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified anatomy resulting in the reported difficulty advancing the device and subsequently the balloon became damaged and ruptured during inflation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
