Manufacturer Narrative

Exemption number (b)(4) permits numbering sequence to begin with 10000, to avoid duplication of report numbers due to process transition.There may be gaps in numbering for reports submitted during the transition period.The device was not returned for evaluation.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 and/or complaints from this lot.It should be noted that the armada 35 instruction for use (ifu) states: the device is intended for dilatation of lesions in the renal, iliac, femoral, popliteal, tibial, and peroneal arteries and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.This device is also indicated for stent post-dilatation in the peripheral vasculature.It could not be determined if the off-label use contributed to the balloon rupture.Based on the information provided, a definitive cause for the balloon rupture could not be determined.It is possible that the rupture occurred due to interaction with lesion calcification or associated devices during inflation; however, this could not be confirmed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
