Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual inspection and functional testing were 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 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 or during the first two inflations, 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 moderately calcified anatomy resulting in the reported balloon rupture during the third inflation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
