Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4) device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of a coyote es balloon catheter with no other devices. There was blood and contrast in the inflation lumen and balloon. The tip and balloon were examined. The balloon was loosely folded. The tip was damaged. There was a tear in the inner and outer shaft material at the guide wire exit notch which extended 8 cm distally. The damage is consistent with the guide wire tearing through the shaft. There were numerous hypotube kinks. Inspection of the remainder of the device presented no other damage or irregularities. There was no evidence of any material or manufacturing deficiencies contributing to the damage and the reported difficulty. The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications. The most probable root cause is operational context as device performance was limited due to anatomical procedural factors. (b)(4).

Event Description

Reportable based on device analysis completed on 08-sep-2016. It was reported that crossing difficulties were encountered. The 95% target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified vessel below the knee. A 4mmx40mmx146cm coyote es balloon catheter was advanced but failed to cross the lesion. The procedure was completed with a peripheral cutting balloon (pcb). No patient complications were reported and the patient's status was good. However, returned device analysis revealed a shaft hole/ perforation.
