Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
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 to the balloon during preparation or during the first inflation, which suggests a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported difficulties.It was reported by the account that the balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) interacted with the moderately calcified anatomy resulting in the reported difficulty advancing the device and subsequently the balloon 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.
