The device was returned for analysis.The rupture was confirmed.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 other similar complaints.Based on the information provided, the balloon rupture appears to be due to case circumstances.It is likely that the balloon rupture occurred due to interaction with the calcified lesion causing damage to the outer surface of the balloon material.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
