Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the procedure was to treat an arteriovenous fistula.A 10x40mmx135cm armada 35 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion without issue, however during the first inflation to 4 atmospheres (atm), the balloon ruptured.A second 10x40mmx135cm armada 35 bdc also ruptured at 4 atm.A 10x40mmx80cm armada 35 bdc ruptured at 6 atm, and a 12x40mmx80cm armada 35 bdc, ruptured at 4 atm.Although no damage was seen on the indeflator, it was stated there could be an issue with the indeflator, since the four balloons ruptured during inflation with the same indeflator.A new indeflator and an unspecified bdc were used without further issues to complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
