Visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was confirmed.The reported entrapment of device could not be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.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, entrapment of device, surgical intervention and delay to treatment/therapy appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
