Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with lot 82168672 presented no issues during the manufacturing process that can be related to the reported event.Additional information is pending and will be submitted within 30 days upon receipt.
Event or Problem Description
As reported, after an intravascular ultrasound (ivus), the user attempted to inflate the lesion using the 8mm 4cm 80 powerflex pro balloon catheter (bc), however, it ruptured at its nominal pressure during the initial inflation.Therefore, it was replaced with another device and the procedure was continued.There was no reported patient injury.The device was used during a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) case.The target lesion was the subclavian vein.A non-cordis guidewire crossed the stenosis part.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
After an intravascular ultrasound (ivus), the user attempted to inflate the lesion using the 8mm x 4cm x 80 powerflex pro balloon catheter (bc); however, it ruptured at its nominal pressure during initial inflation.There was no reported patient injury.This was a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) case.The target lesion was the subclavian vein, a non-cordis guidewire crossed the stenosis part.It was replaced with another device and the procedure was continued.The product was removed intact (in one piece) from the patient.The product was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot: 82168672 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.Vessel characteristics of stenosis may have contributed to the reported event.Damage to balloon material may occur when attempting to cross a stenosed vessel.It is likely during this attempt to cross the damage occurred; 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 safety information in the instructions for use ¿if resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of the resistance before proceeding.Balloon pressure should not exceed the rated burst pressure.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.Never use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon.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.¿ 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.
