The device was returned and investigated.The inflation problem was confirmed.Additionally, the proximal portion of the balloon ruptured and tore through the proximal seal and outer member.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 of the reported lot revealed no indication of a lot specific issue.The investigation determined, based on the evaluation of the returned unit and scanning electron microscopy (sem) analysis, that the reported inflation issue may be due to a potential quality issue.The damage to the balloon and necked outer member may be related to a manufacturing issue.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.
