Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a left anterior descending artery.Pre-dilatation was performed with a 3.0x20 trek balloon dilatation catheter.Three inflations were performed at 16 atmospheres (atm), 18 atm and 22atm.At the third inflation at 22atm, the balloon burst, got caught within a vessel and part of the balloon remained in the anatomy.A micro catheter, second unspecified wire were placed and an unknown drug-eluting stent was used to embed the separated balloon portion to the vessel wall.The account noted that there was a clinically significant delay which caused an occlusion due to the trek balloon.The occlusion was treated with three other balloons and drug-eluting stents to successfully complete the procedure successfully.There was no patient sequela.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device code 2017 - excessive force.Visual and sem inspections/analysis were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture and separations were confirmed.The reported entrapment of device could not be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.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 incidents/complaints from this lot.It was reported that the balloon was inflated three times at 16 atmospheres (atm), 18 atm and 22atm.At the third inflation at 22atm, the balloon ruptured.It should be noted that the coronary dilatation catheters (cdc), trek rx global, instruction for use states: balloon pressure should not exceed the rated burst pressure (rbp).The investigation determined the reported balloon rupture appears to be related to user error; however, the reported entrapment of device and balloon separation appear to be related to operational context.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects of device embedded and occlusion and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
