Visual inspection was performed on the returned device.There were no damages noted to the balloon; thus, the reported failure to fold (unusual appearance) was not confirmed.The reported difficulty removing the device from the anatomy 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 identified no other similar incidents and/or complaints from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported complaints.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
