The reported event is inconclusive since no sample was returned.A potential root cause for this event could be, "poor design" or "physician error".The device was not returned for evaluation.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "only a physician who has an understanding of the clinical applications, technical principles and associated risks associated with balloon dilation of the nephrostomy tract should use this device." "carefully inspect the catheter and the sterile packaging for signs of damage that may have occurred during shipment.Do not use the product if damage is evident." "warning: do not use air or any gaseous substances as a balloon inflation media, always use sterile liquid media." "note: the use of an inflation device with a pressure gauge is highly recommended to make sure adequate pressure is applied and the maximum limits of the balloon are not exceeded."

"caution: do not exceed the recommended rated burst pressure (rbp) for this device.Balloon rupture may occur if the rbp rating is exceeded.Please refer to the device label for the recommended rbp." the device was not returned.
