Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing review: the device history records have been reviewed and this lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.This is the only complaint reported to date for this lot number and failure mode.Investigation summary: the device was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection found the balloon to be completely detached from the catheter shaft at both balloon weld locations.Additionally the returned balloon segment was inverted and slightly prolapsed at one end.Therefore, the investigation is confirmed for a complete balloon detachment and retraction issues.Resistance during removal of the balloon likely resulted in the identified detachments.However, the definitive root cause for the identified retraction issue or detachment could not be determined based on the available information.Labeling review: the review of the ifu (instructions for use), indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, and contraindications showed that the product labeling is adequate.
