Estimated date after receiving this complaint, we searched for other complaints and we found none regarding the lot number 9253806.After disinfection of the used sample, it was observed that balloon was burst.We received a documentary investigation from our tunisian subcontractor: the root cause was probably due to a defect in the balloon¿s raw material.Checking the quality databases revealed this type of defect is known and closely monitored a similar case study was performed based on same item number and same defect [balloon burst] over the last four years; no similar cases were found.A risk assessment was performed and concluded that the residual risks are adequately controlled and reduced as far as possible, and the residual risks associated with the use of the product are acceptable when weighed against the benefits to the patient/user.Corrections: b1/2: report type corrected from malfunction to serious injury.B5: incident description.H1: type of report correct from malfunction to serious injury.
