Event Description
|
It was reported that blade detachment occurred.The 75% stenosed target lesion was located in the mildly tortuous and moderately calcified common femoral artery.A 2cm peripheral cutting balloon¿ was selected for use.During withdrawal, when the device was pulled into the sheath, it was noted that the balloon blade became detached.The blade was retrieved together with the balloon from the sheath.The procedure was completed with this device.No patient complications were reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.A visual and microscopic examination of the 2cm pcb device identified that 8mm of one of the blades has become completely detached from the proximal end of the balloon material, leaving 20mm of pad and 12mm of blade still attached to the balloon material.The detached section off blade was also returned for analysis.The entire 2cm of blade was accounted for.This damage can potentially be a result of the resistance encountered during the advancement or withdrawal of the device most likely due to the operational context of the procedure.All other blades were present and fully bonded to the balloon material.No issues were noted with the blades or pads that could have contributed to the complaint incident.The balloon was unfolded which indicates it has been subjected to positive pressure.A visual and microscopic examination identified no damage or any issues with the balloon material that could have contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage along the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.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).
