The device was not returned for evaluation.The electronic lot history record (elhr) and corrective and preventive actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar complaints from this lot.The investigation determined that the reported balloon rupture appears to be related to operational context.In this case, it is likely that the balloon interacted with the moderately calcified anatomy such that the balloon became damaged and subsequently ruptured during inflation.Based on the reported information, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.D09, h3 - it was initially reported that the device would be returned for analysis.Subsequent information revealed that the device was discarded and is not available for evaluation.
