Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation ¿ evaluation.A review of the dimensional verification, complaint history, device history record, drawing, instructions for use (ifu), quality control, and a visual inspection of the returned device were conducted during the investigation.The visual inspection of the returned device confirmed that the balloon had separated between the distal balloon and the catheter material.The balloon separation revealed both longitudinal and circumferential tears.The catheter section beneath the balloon material appeared elongated, indicative of being stretched while removing the device.Additionally, a document based investigation evaluation was performed.There is no evidence to suggest the product was not made to specifications.A review of the device history record showed no nonconforming events which could contribute to this failure mode.It should also be noted there were no other reported complaints for this lot number.Furthermore, a review of the device history file and quality control procedures was conducted, and no gaps were discovered.Based on the information provided and the examination of the returned product, investigation has concluded that the cause cannot be traced to the device, but instead is related to the procedure.The balloon was reportedly inflated inside a previously placed stent, and it is likely that an exposed section of the stent could have compromised the integrity of the balloon.We will continue our monitoring of similar complaints and have notified the appropriate personnel of this event.Measures are being conducted to address this failure mode.Per the quality engineering risk assessment no further action is required.
