(b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents.It was reported that negative pressure was held for 3 to 5 seconds before attempting to remove the balloon after deployment of the stent.It should be noted that the xience skypoint, everolimus eluting coronary stent system, instructions for use (ifu) states: deflate the balloon by pulling negative pressure on the inflation device.Larger and longer balloons will take more time (up to 30 seconds) to deflate than smaller and shorter balloons.Confirm balloon deflation under fluoroscopy and wait 10 ¿ 15 seconds longer.It is unknown if the ifu deviation contributed to the reported event.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficult to remove.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
