A visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture could not be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.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 determined the reported balloon rupture, foreign body in patient and serious injury/illness/impairment appear to be related to operational context; however, a conclusive cause for the noted separation of the retuned device could not be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.H10 correction: mfg narrative updated based on the returned device analysis which was inadvertently left off of the supplemental mdr.The g3 date is 02/15/24 which is the date the error was noted.
