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.Investigation summary: the device was returned for evaluation.An attempt was made to inflate the balloon with an in-house inflation device, and a pinhole rupture was noted on the balloon.Therefore, the investigation is confirmed for balloon rupture.Per the reported event details, the balloon was used in a highly calcified lesion.However, it is unknown if the calcification contributed to the balloon rupture.Based upon the available information, the definitive root cause for the reported rupture could not be determined.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.(expiry date: 07/2020),.
