Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
During use for post-dilation of a stent graft, it was reported that the 20x40mm 110cm maxi large diameter (ld) percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) catheter ruptured within its rated burst pressure.The maxi balloon was replaced with the same product and the procedure was completed.There was no patient injury.There were no difficulty inflating the balloon during prep.There was no difficulty crossing the lesion.The same indeflator was used successfully with other devices.There was no resistance/friction while inserting the balloon through the guide catheter.The catheter was never in an acute bend.The device will not be returned for analysis.No other information was provided.The device was not returned for analysis.A device history record (dhr) review of lot 17617408 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿balloon burst at/below rbp¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause of the burst could not be determined.Based on the limited information available for review, vessel characteristics (although not provided) may have contributed to the reported event since calcified/resistant lesions can damage a balloon.According to the instructions for use, which is not intended as a mitigation, ¿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.Do not exceed the rated burst pressure recommended on the label.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 at this time.
