Block e1: initial reporter facility name: (b)(6).Block h6: imdrf device code a0402 captures the reportable event of a balloon burst.Block h11: investigation results: the returned cre pro wireguided dilatation balloon was analyzed, and a visual inspection found that the balloon had a longitudinal tear.No other problems with the device were noted.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event of balloon burst was not confirmed.The longitudinal tear problem found could have been interpreted by the customer as the reported event of a balloon burst.The longitudinal tear found is likely to have occurred due to procedural factors such as excess of pressure, interaction with other devices, or anatomical conditions.Also, it is possible that interaction with a sharp surface during or previous to the procedure could have caused the problem found on the distal section of the balloon.Therefore, the most probable root cause is an adverse event related to procedure.
