An angiosculpt device was used in a therapeutic peripheral procedure.During the first inflation at nominal pressure (nominal: 8 atm, rbp: 14 atm), the balloon ruptured.The procedure was completed with a new equivalent product.No patient injury reported.This product problem is being submitted conservatively because the balloon ruptured below rbp.
