It was reported that the procedure was to treat the anterior tibial artery with heavy calcification.The 1.5x20 mm armada 14 percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) catheter was inflated once to 12 atmospheres and ruptured.Another 1.5x20 mm armada 14 pta catheter was inflated once to 10 atmospheres and ruptured.Another armada was used to complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Visual inspection and functional testing were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was confirmed.Production record and corrective and preventative actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed there is no indication of a lot specific issue.Based on the reported information and the observations from the returned analysis, the investigation determined that the reported balloon rupture appears to be related to operational context.There was no leak noted during preparation, which suggests a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported difficulties.In this case, it is likely that the balloon interacted with the heavily calcified anatomy resulting in the reported balloon rupture during inflation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
