Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The returned instrument was subjected to a detailed technical analysis and the corresponding production documentation was reviewed to establish whether a deviation from the manufacturing process could be the cause for the reported event.The technical investigation of the returned device revealed that the balloon contained blood residues in the inflation lumen.At a pressure of more than 3 atm a fine jet of water was observed in the cylindrical balloon part.The microscopic analysis of the balloon surface showed a microscopic leakage and scratches on the balloon surface nearby the damage site.Review of the production documentation confirmed that the instrument was manufactured according to specifications and passed all in-process and final inspections.In addition to visual inspections each instrument is tested for air tightness by means of a helium leak test.We can therefore confirm that the instrument was delivered in a leak-proof condition.Based on the conducted investigations, no manufacturing or material related root cause could be determined.The damage of the balloon surface was most likely caused by the severe calcified lesion.
