Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned for evaluation.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 identified no other similar incidents and/or complaints from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported balloon rupture; however, the reported difficulty removing the device from the guide wire and introducer sheath, balloon separation, unexpected medical intervention and removal of foreign body appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
