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 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 moderately tortuous and moderately 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.
