Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation findings: items returned for evaluation: scepter xc.The device was returned with the yellow polyimide ring dislodged and the coils at the proximal end of the balloon were found to be unwound.This damage is consistent with the condition observed in the customer provided images.No other damage was observed.The investigation of the returned balloon catheter found the coils at the proximal end of the balloon to be unwound and the yellow polyimide ring dislodged within the balloon near the unwound coils, which is consistent with the alleged product issue.However, the polyimide ring is a component of the device and not a foreign object as described in the reported event.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the exact conditions or circumstances that led to the polyimide ring dislodging, but this condition is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification due to over inflation.
