Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the procedure performed was to treat a heavily calcified left cephalic vein.The 7.0x80mm armada 35 pta balloon dilatation catheter, that was to be used for thrombectomy, ruptured during the first inflation at 10 atmospheres.A non-abbott balloon was used to complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and 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 review of the complaint history identified no other similar complaints from this lot.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.
