Visual and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was not confirmed; however, the reported separation was confirmed.The reported difficulty removing the device could not be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.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 and difficulty removing the device; however, the reported 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 respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
