Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a de novo lesion in the superficial femoral artery (sfa) with heavy calcification.The 7x20mm armada 35 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion and the balloon was inflated; however, the balloon ruptured during the first inflation at 12 atmospheres (atm).Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.Another armada 35 bdc was advanced and the second armada balloon also ruptured during the first inflation at 12 atm.The bdc was removed from the patient.A third armada 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
Manufacturer's investigation is still pending at this time.Results and conclusions will be provided in the final report.The additional device referenced in b5 is filed under separate medwatch report number.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Visual inspection was 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 to the balloon 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.
