When a customer started to flush a 2.5mm x 20cm x150cm saber percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter right after they removed it from the coil dispenser, there appeared to be some particles that came out.They were not sure what to make of it and opened another balloon.There was no patient injury and the device will be returned for analysis.The device was opened in a sterile field.

Manufacturer Narrative

The contrast media used was visipaque ge 320 with a contrast to the saline ratio of 1:3.A bd syringe was used and was flushed before flushing the catheter.A dedicated saline bowl was used when flushing the device.The integrity of the sterile pouch was not compromised.The device was not purposely opened in anticipation of use and reshelved.The device was stored as per the instructions for use (ifu).The device will be returned for evaluation.Additional procedural details were requested but are unknown.Additional information is pending and will be submitted within 30 days upon receipt.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned and section d10 was updated accordingly.The completed engineering report will be submitted within 30 days upon receipt.

Manufacturer Narrative

When a customer started to flush a 2.5mm x 20cm x 150cm saber percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter after it was removed from the coil dispenser, there appeared to be some particles that came out.They were not sure what to make of it and opened another balloon.There was no patient injury.The device was opened in a sterile field.Non-cordis contrast media was used with a contrast to the saline ratio of 1:3.A non-cordis syringe was used and was flushed before flushing the catheter.A dedicated saline bowl was used when flushing the device.The integrity of the sterile pouch was not compromised.The device was not purposely opened in anticipation of use and re-shelved.The device was stored as per the instructions for use (ifu).Additional procedural details were requested but are unknown.One product was returned for analysis.A non-sterile saber 2.5mm x 20cm x 150 was returned.Per visual analysis the device was coiled inside a plastic bag.A product label was returned inside the plastic bag.No anomalies were observed on the device.There was no foreign material observed on the device or inside the plastic bag.The catheter was successfully flushed, no foreign material was observed coming out from the device or any anomalies observed during the flushing procedure.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82163378 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿pta/ptca system - foreign material¿ could not be confirmed via device analysis.The exact cause of the reported event could not be determined.The catheter was received, and no foreign material was noted on the device, inside the bag or during flushing procedure.It is likely that procedural techniques and handling of the catheter may have contributed to the reported event.The device was likely flushed with saline that may have contained particles from another procedural product that came from the saline bowl.There were no procedural images provided or the return of the suspected material therefore making it difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the event reported.According to the warnings in the safety information in the instructions for use ¿prior to angioplasty, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and integrity, and ensure that its size and shape are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used.Do not use if product damage is suspected or evident.Flush all devices entering the vascular system with sterile heparinized saline or similar isotonic solution.Prior to use, ensure all devices have been flushed and air is removed from the system according to standard medical practice.Failure to do so could result in air entering the vascular 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.
