The device was returned for analysis.The reported break was able to be confirmed.Additionally, a crack was observed on the back side at the proximal end of the hose assembly port, and a leak was observed 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 from this lot.As reportedly during the procedure the indeflator properly inflated the balloon, it is possible that inadvertent mishandling during deflation resulted in the reported break/noted observed crack on the back side at the proximal end of the hose assembly port; however this cannot be confirmed.The noted leak is a direct result of the reported/noted break.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported/noted difficulties cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
