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 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 heavily tortuous and heavily calcified anatomy resulting in the reported balloon rupture 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 a 90% stenosed de novo lesion in the right coronary artery (rca) with heavy calcification and heavy tortuosity.For pre-dilatation, the 4.5x12mm nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion and the balloon was inflated; however, the balloon ruptured during the second inflation at 8 atmospheres (atm).The bdc was removed from the patient.Another nc trek bdc was used to continue the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and there was no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
