Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4). During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information. 2017: incorrect anatomy / incorrect removal. Evaluation summary: a visual inspection was performed. The reported difficulty removing the balloon catheter from the introducer sheath was not tested due to the returned condition of the device. It should be noted that the armada 35 / (b)(6) instructions for use, states: the device is intended for dilatation of lesions in the renal, iliac, femoral, popliteal, tibial, and peroneal arteries. A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event. Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents reported from this lot. The investigation determined that the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstance of the procedure as the balloon was not fully deflated before removal through the introducer sheath resulting in the reported/noted inner member and balloon separation and longitudinal rupture. There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.

Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat an unknown lesion located in the cephalic vein. During removal, the balloon broke and had to be retrieved.

There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay. Resistance was noted during withdrawal with the introducer sheath. Device analysis revealed the balloon was separated radially, also, the inner member was separated.
