Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: imdrf device code a0414 captures the reportable investigation results of balloon longitudinally torn.The returned cre pro wireguided dilatation balloon was analyzed, and a visual and microscopic evaluation noted that the balloon was longitudinally torn.No other problems with the device were noted.The product analysis revealed that the balloon was longitudinally torn.The condition could have been generated due to procedural factors such as excess of pressure or interaction with other devices.Also, it is possible that interaction with a sharp surface during or before the procedure, could have caused the problem found on the balloon.Based on all gathered information, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.
