Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The actual device concerned was not returned.The device history records (dhr) of the device concerned was reviewed: the production lot, to which the device concerned belongs, passed all in-process inspections including the shaft-pressurized test and the balloon-wrapping test for every product, and the finished product inspections including the shaft tensile strength test and the repetitive balloon inflation/deflation test on representative samples based on sampling plan.No nonconformity or abnormality in the manufacturing processes of the device concerned was found.Probable cause(s) and our comment: the balloon should have injured on the delivery through the lesion and was ruptured while being inflated in the lesion.When the dr.Tried to retrieve the device, the bulky distal portion of the ruptured balloon was trapped in the lesion.Further attempts to pull back the device resulted in the fracture of the balloon and the device came out of the patient's vessels with the fractured balloon portion remained in the lesion.No nonconformity or abnormality in the manufacturing processes of the device concerned was found, and accordingly, we determine that the event reported was caused by not any defect of the device but the user's handling issues.
