Additional Manufacturer Narrative

An aviator plus ruptured at eight atmospheres (8 atm) during use for a post dilation in a coronary artery stenting case.There was no reported patient injury.The procedure was completed with a non- cordis balloon catheter.The physician commented that this issue might have occurred by the stent edge.The device was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82165025 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 could not be determined.Target lesion characteristics (physician commented that it may have ruptured at the stent edge) most likely contributed the balloon rupture.However, without the return of the device for analysis it is difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the event reported.According to the instructions for use, although this is not intended as a mitigation, ¿prior to use, the device should be examined to verify functionality and integrity, and ensure that its size is suitable for the specific procedure.Do not exceed the rated burst pressure recommended on the label.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.Use only the recommended balloon inflation medium (a 50/50 mixture by volume of contrast medium and normal saline).Never use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon.¿ 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.
