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 query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed there is no indication of a lot specific issue.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 patient anatomy and/or accessory device such that the balloon became damaged and subsequently ruptured during inflation the second inflation.
