(b)(4).Evaluation summary: a visual inspection was performed and the reported balloon rupture was confirmed.The balloon catheter was sent to scanning electron microscopy (sem) for further analysis.The results, noted the balloon rupture may possibly be related to exposure conditions and/or material/processing discrepancy initiating along the inner surface.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents reported from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported balloon rupture.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
