Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a severely stenosed lesion in a tibial vessel.A 2.5x80mm armada 18 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was prepared and advanced to the lesion with no noted issues; however, during the second inflation to 14atms the balloon was noted to rupture.Therefore, the bdc was replaced with another armada bdc and the procedure was continued.There were no adverse patient effects nor clinical delay reported.No additional information was provided.
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 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 circumstances of the procedure.There was no leak noted during preparation or during the first inflation, 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 such that the balloon became damaged and subsequently ruptured during the second inflation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
