Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The investigation of the returned scepter balloon found multiple sections of the balloon catheter to be kinked; the physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification.The balloon was inflated in the lab, and a pinhole was found at the proximal marker band; the coil beneath the polyimide ring was also found to be loose.These conditions align with the alleged product issue and are consistent with the balloon experiencing forces over specification, which is known to occur due to over-inflation.
