Event Description
|
It was reported that a blade was missing.The 75% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous cephalic vein.A 6.00mm/ 2.0cm/ 50cm peripheral cutting balloon was selected for use.During procedure, dilatation was performed twice at 10 atm around the cephalic vein anastomosis (the angle was gently/slowly applied).The device was simply removed since the lesion area was properly expanded.However, one out of the four blade was missing even if excessive force more than usual was not used.The procedure was completed with this device.There were no complications reported and there was no problem with the patient.

E1.Initial reporter city:(b)(6).Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.A visual and microscopic examination was performed on the returned device.It was noted that one of the blades was completely detached from the balloon material.The damage identified is consistent with excessive force being applied when resistance is encountered during the withdrawal of the device.All other blades were intact and fully bonded to the balloon material.A visual examination identified the returned balloon were relaxed with evidence of inflation media in the balloon.A visual and microscopic examination identified no issues with the balloon material.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied, and the balloon was successfully inflated to its rate of burst pressure of 10 atmospheres with no leaks or drops in pressure noted.The pressure was held for 30 seconds, this was recorded with a digital timer.The inflation device was verified at 10 atmospheres, before and after use with a calibrated pressure gauge.The rated burst pressure for this device is 10 atmospheres as instructions for use.No issue was observed with the tip or markerbands of the device which could have contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination found no damage or kinks to the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
