Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual inspection and functional testing were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture and inflation issue were confirmed.Production record and corrective and preventative 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.Based on the reported information and the observations from the returned analysis, the investigation determined that the reported complaints appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.There was no leak noted during preparation, which suggests a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported difficulties.In this case, it is likely that the balloon interacted with the patient anatomy such that the balloon became damaged, rupture during inflation and subsequently gave the impression of an inflation issue as the balloon would not hold pressure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
