Visual and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was unable to be confirmed; however, the tear in the inner member is likely what was perceived as the rupture.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 or noted leak in the inner member.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
