Visual and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was confirmed.The reported difficulty removing the device could not be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.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 of the reported lot did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined the reported complaints appear to be related to operational context.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
