Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual, functional and scanning electron microscopy (sem) inspections/analysis were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was not confirmed; however, a tear in the inner member and leak were noted on the returned device, which likely was what the account perceived as the reported rupture since the device would not hold pressure.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 noted tear, leak or reported balloon rupture.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
