Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was 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 device analysis, the investigation determined that the reported balloon rupture appears to be related to operational context.There was no leak noted to the balloon 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 mildly calcified anatomy resulting in the reported balloon rupture.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.D4 correction - lot # updated from 40708g1 to 40718g2.
