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, 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 during inflation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.E1: (b)(6).

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a de novo mid-left anterior descending artery (lad) lesion with 90% stenosis, mild calcification and mild tortuosity.A 2.00 x 15mm nc trek neo balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was soaked and prepped without any issues.After successful guide wire crossing, the balloon ruptured at 10 atmospheres during the first inflation.Another unspecified device was used to complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
