Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Block h6: imdrf device code a0402 captures the reportable event of balloon burst.Block h10: investigation result: the returned cre wireguided dilatation balloon was analyzed, and a visual examination found that the balloon was torn longitudinally.Microscopic inspection confirmed the balloon had a longitudinal tear.The catheter of the device was carefully inspected, and no damages were found.No other problems with the device were noted.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event of balloon burst could not be confirmed.The balloon being torn longitudinally could have been interpreted by the customer as the reported event of balloon burst.The tear is likely to have occurred due to factors encountered during the procedure, such as excess pressure, interaction with other devices, or anatomical factors.It is possible that interaction with any kind of sharp surface during the procedure could create friction on the balloon, causing a longitudinal tear.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.
