Manufacturer Narrative

A maxi ld percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) catheter was delivered to the lesion for inflation.However, it ruptured during its initial inflation.There was no patient injury reported.The device was replaced with a new unknown balloon catheter and the procedure was completed.This was an endovascular aneurysm repair (evar) case.The product was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82160834 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿balloon burst¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis.The exact cause could not be determined.There is no additional information regarding patient or procedural characteristics regarding this event.With the limited amount of information available and without the return of the product or films of the procedure it is not possible to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the event.However, vessel characteristics and procedural factors may have contributed to the reported event.According to the safety information in the instructions for use ¿note: the rated burst pressure is printed on the package label.In vitro testing has shown that with 95% confidence, 99.9% of the balloons will not burst at or below the rated pressure.Balloons should not be inflated in excess of the rated burst pressure.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.Carefully advance the catheter through a sheath or through the percutaneous entry site.Note: gentle counterclockwise rotation of the balloon may ease introduction through the sheath or percutaneous entry site.Note: perform all further catheter manipulations under fluoroscopy.Carefully advance the catheter to the selected site.Caution: if strong resistance is met during advancement or withdrawal of the catheter, discontinue movement and determine the cause of resistance before proceeding.If the cause of resistance cannot be determined, withdraw the entire system.¿ neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event.Therefore, no corrective or preventive action will be taken at this time.
