The device was not returned for analysis.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 information received, the investigation determined that the reported balloon rupture appears to be related to operational context.There was no leak noted during preparation or during the first inflation, 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 previously implanted stent such that the balloon became damaged and subsequently ruptured during the second inflation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.

It was reported that the procedure was to treat in-stent restenosis of a 90% stenosed mid left anterior descending (mlad) with mild calcification and mild tortuosity.The 2.5x12mm nc trek neo balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion and the balloon was inflated; however, the balloon ruptured during the second inflation at 6 atmospheres (atm).Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.A non-abbott balloon was used to continue the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
