Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Items returned for investigation: scepter xc.Items not returned for investigation: n/a.The balloon was returned deflated with residual contrast.The hub was intact with residual contrast in the inflation port.A rupture was observed at the distal marker band of the balloon; the surface of the balloon was coated with dye during the investigation (note: the dye used is water and alcohol soluble), and after rinsing, the dye was observed to have seeped into the balloon through the rupture.The investigation of the returned balloon catheter found the balloon ruptured at the distal marker band, which is consistent with the alleged product issue.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the rupture, but this condition is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification due to over inflation.
