Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The subject device was returned for investigation and inspected.The reported failure of detachment was confirmed.The balloon, distal marker band, and catheter tip were detached and missing.The cause of the detachment could not be definitively determined.There was no patient harm reported.Balloon ruptures are a known failure mode with a low probability of occurrence.Contributing factors include patient calcium, damage caused when the balloon wall comes into close contact with the device emitters, likely causes include (a) an irregular calcium lesion capable of compressing the balloon wall into close proximity with the emitter(s) and/or (b) an incompletely inflated balloon.The shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (ivl) system with the shockwave m5+ peripheral ivl catheter generates acoustic pressure pulses within the target treatment site, disrupting calcium within the lesion allowing subsequent dilatation of a peripheral artery stenosis using low balloon pressure not to exceed 4 atm during ivl treatment.The pressure used for the ivl balloon catheter is much lower than other peripheral balloon catheters , thus the risk associated with loss of balloon pressure during ivl catheter use is negligible.The associated patient risk for this failure mode is low and adequately captured in swmi's risk documentation.Shockwave medical has controls in place to ensure devices are built to approved procedures and meet lot release acceptance criteria prior to being distributed.A review of the manufacturing and test documentation for subject lot does not reveal any issues with the manufacturing of the device.The device passed all of shockwave medical, inc.Acceptance criteria prior to shipping.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
A shockwave m5+ peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (ivl) catheter was used to treat a lesion in the common femoral artery (cfa).A balloon rupture was reported, but the timing of the rupture and the number of ivl pulses delivered are unknown.When removing the wire, it became caught in the ivl balloon catheter and due to the manipulation, a part of the ivl catheter tore off.It is unknown whether there were any fragments that fell inside the patient.A new ivl catheter was used to complete the procedure.There was no patient harm reported.
