Based on observations from reviewing of the case details, it is concluded that the balloon was punctured, when the device was repositioned prior to the balloon being fully deflated.The distal balloon did not separate from the device at the time of balloon rupture, but the event occurred as the device was being withdrawn through the sheath.This root cause is also supported by the inspection of the balloon segments and the returned sheaths.The review of the manufacturing lhr and quality inspection records for the balloon component and catheter processing provides assurance that the root cause was not swmi device design / manufacturing related.Conclusion: based on the investigation, it is concluded that the balloon rupture was due to the sharp calcification and incomplete deflation of balloon during reposition.The balloon separation was due to the interaction force between the balloon and the sheath.The cause of this event is not swmi design/ manufacturing related.Note: the mdr was initially submitted on may 8, 2018 and acknowledgement email was received by shockwave medical.However, additional information was required prior to posting.The mdr is now being refiled with requested information per helpdesk recommendation.
