Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Block h6: imdrf device code a0402 captures the reportable event of a balloon burst.H11: investigation results : the returned hurricane rx dilatation balloon was analyzed, and a visual and microscopic inspection found a longitudinal tear.No other problems with the device were noted.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event of balloon burst cannot be confirmed.The balloon torn problem found could have been interpreted by the customer as the reported event of balloon burst.The results of the analysis performed on the returned device found that the longitudinal tear in the balloon is likely to have occurred due to factors encountered during the procedure, it can be due to excess pressure.These factors and interactions could influence the damage found in the balloon.Also, it is possible that interaction with any kind of a sharp surface during/previous the procedure could create friction on the balloon, causing the problem of torn longitudinal during the procedure.Therefore, the most probable root cause is an adverse event related to procedure.
