Manufacturer Narrative

The tip of the catheter of a saber 8mmx4cm balloon catheter came off while it was being put on the wire.Another 8mm x 4cm saber balloon was used to complete the procedure.There was no patient injuries.The device was never used in the patient.Additional information was received and there were no anomalies noted when removed from the package.There were no anomalies noted during prep.There was no unusual force used when putting the device on the wire.A non-cordis 200cm guidewire was used; the same guidewire was used to complete the procedure.There were no kinks noted in any of the devices.The doctor said that with that particular guidewire sometimes the blood clumps on the wire (even after cleaning the wire) and the doctor seemed to think that the tip was a lot smaller and broke off when it came into contract with the clump of blood.The saber couldn't be advanced anymore (outside of the patient and sheath) and looking under closer examination, it was noticed that the tip had come off.The same thing then happened with the 2nd device which had the same lot number.There were 3 unopened balloon on the shelf with the same lot number which will be returned.The device was not returned for analysis.A device history record (dhr) review of lot 17326494 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿distal tip separated - during prep¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause could not be determined.Handling or procedural factors may have contributed to the reported event.According to the instructions for use ¿proper functioning of the catheter depends on its integrity.Care should be used when handling the catheter.Damage may result from kinking, stretching, or forceful wiping of the catheter.Forceful handling can result in catheter separation and the subsequent need to use a snare or other medical interventional techniques to retrieve the pieces.Always verify integrity of the catheter after removal.¿ neither the dhr nor the limited information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken.
