Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.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 of the reported lot did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported separation; however, the unexpected medical intervention and delay to treatment/therapy appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.It was reported that the device was not soaked prior to use.It should be noted that the coronary dilatation catheters (cdc), trek rx and mini trek rx, global instructions for use (ifu) states: submerge the balloon in sterile heparinized normal saline during balloon preparation, to activate the coating.In this case, it is unknown if the ifu violation caused or contributed to the reported complaint.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
