The product was received for evaluation and the reported issue was confirmed.When the balloon was inflated the balloon failed to deflate.The balloon was removed from the device and the skive hole was inspected.The skive hole was not completely cut and the cut material was not removed from the catheter lumen.As a result, the material remained covering the skive hole.This allowed fluid to fill the balloon, but created a blockage and prevented the balloon from deflating.This issue is due to a manufacturing error.The lot history record for the device was reviewed, no issues were found during manufacturing or packaging that would cause or contribute to the reported event.Additionally, we have not received any reports of similar issues occurring for this lot.
