Correction: this report is being sent to indicate the complaint event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803.As such, this event no longer meets the set criteria for a reportable event; no further reports regarding this event will be submitted.Investigation has determined the alleged malfunction corresponds with the stains were from the glue/sealing process used on the packaging of balloon instead of device contaminated, which our initial report was based on.Event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death or serious injury and there is no precedence of this malfunction leading to an adverse event.
