Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H11: manufacturing review: a manufacturing review was not required as this is the only complaint reported to date for this product and lot.Investigation summary: seven images were provided and reviewed.The first image shows a venogram with contrast from the arm flowing through a brachiophalic vein stent.There is poor opacification in the stent.There are wires from a prior coronary bypass procedure.The second image is of the same area without contrast.The third image has a balloon traversing the stent and almost fully dilated with an area of stricture toward the arm.The balloon is covering the entire stent and has some overflow outside the stent.The forth image is a contrast image of the same area with what appears to be some improved flow through the stented segment.The fifth image has the balloon with some contrast in the distal aspect and proximal aspect with the mid part not opacified.The balloon appears to be irregular.The sixth image has the same segment with a wire and no balloon.The contrast flow is poor.The final image shows a wire crossing the stented segment.There is no contrast.Received one lutonix 035av drug coated balloon catheter with a loaded unknown brand sheath.Upon visual evaluation, it was noted the middle of the balloon was detached.The distal portion of the balloon remained on the catheter and was bunched.The proximal end of the balloon was extending out of the returned unknown sheath.The distal end of the sheath appeared to be buckled.Multiple kinks were present on the inner gw lumen and it appeared to be stretched.It was noted the proximal marker band was able to move up and down the gw lumen.Distal marker band was not present.No anomalies noted to the luers or y-body.Due to the condition of detachment, no further functional testing was performed.Therefore, the investigation is confirmed for the reported detachment and circumferential balloon rupture as balloon was circumferentially ruptured into two segments.The investigation is confirmed for the reported sheath removal difficulty since the balloon was loaded and returned with an unknown brand sheath and also the balloon was noted to be bunched that remained on the catheter, which could have caused difficulty in removing the device through sheath.The stents present within the treatment site could have caused the balloon rupture.However, a definitive root cause for the reported difficult to remove, detachment of device and circumferential balloon rupture could not be determined based upon the provided information.Labeling review: as the reported event did not allege a labeling or use related issue, a labeling review is not required.B5, g3, h6 (patient, device, method, result, conclusion) section a through f ¿ the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
