The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the production records and corrective or preventive actions (capa) was performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed no indication of a lot specific issue.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported material rupture.Factors that may contribute to material rupture during use include, but are not limited to, inadequate pressure integrity, inadequate device prep, inflation above rbp, or damage to the device.In this case, there was no leak noted during preparation, which suggests a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported difficulties.It is possible that the balloon interacted with the lesion or an accessory device, resulting in the balloon becoming damaged, and contributing to the rupture during inflation; however, because the device was not returned for examination, this cannot be confirmed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling; therefore, no product-related corrective action will be implemented in this case.
