Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
A visual and functional inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was not confirmed; however, it is likely that the noted tear on the outer member distal to the mid lap seal is what the account perceived as the reported rupture since the device would not hold pressure during second inflation.A review of the lot history record revealed one manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents and/or complaints from this lot.The investigation determined a potential product quality issue based on the elhr exception review and the noted tear on the outer member distal to the mid lap seal during return analysis.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.
