Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
It was reported that the powerflex pro 8 mm 4 cm 135 balloon burst and a piece of the balloon was not retrieved.The device was not returned for analysis.A device history record (dhr) review of lot 17467398 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿balloon burst ¿ in patient¿ and ¿balloon separated - in-patient¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause could not be determined.Based on the limited information available for review, it is not possible to determine what factors may have contributed to the issue reported.However, lesion and procedural factors are likely.According to the instructions for use (ifu), ¿according to the instructions for use ¿if resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of the resistance before proceeding.Balloon pressure should not exceed the rated burst pressure.The rated burst pressure is based on the results of in vitro testing.At least 99.9% of the balloons (with a 95% confidence), will not burst at or below their rated burst pressure.Use of a pressure monitoring device is recommended to prevent over pressurization.Use only the recommended balloon inflation medium.Never use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon.Prior to angioplasty, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and ensure that its size and shape are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used.¿ neither the dhr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken.
