Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4). During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information. The device was not returned for evaluation. A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint. Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot. The investigation determined the reported kink/bend and separation appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure; however, a conclusive cause could not be determined for the reported difficulty positioning the balloon dilatation catheter. There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.

Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a mildly tortuous and mildly calcified lesion in the distal to mid right coronary artery. Slight resistance was felt while the 2. 75x12mm nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was being advanced into the guide catheter and the shaft kinked and separated. The bdc did not make it in to the patient anatomy; therefore, the separated portion was simply removed from the guiding catheter. The procedure was successfully completed with a different device. There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure and no adverse patient effects. No additional information was provided.
