Visual inspection and functional testing were performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was not 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, a definitive cause for the reported balloon rupture could not be determined.Possible factors that could contribute to balloon material ruptures include, but are not limited to, inflation technique, interactions with other devices or patient anatomy.In this case, a conclusive cause for the reported balloon rupture could not be determined since the complaint could not be confirmed during return analysis.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
