Manufacturing review: a lot history review was conducted and it was determined that a device history record (dhr) review was not required.Investigation summary: the device was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection was performed and a compound rupture was noted to the balloon, with only the proximal portion of the balloon attached to the device.The inner lumen was noted to be stretched away form the end of the outer lumen.Bunching was noted to the inner lumen near the end of the outer lumen.The distal portion of the inner lumen and the remaining portion of the balloon were detached from the device, and not available for evaluation.Only one marker band was noted to the remaining device.No other anomalies were noted to the device.Therefore, the investigation is confirmed for the compound balloon ruptured, as the balloon was noted to have a compound rupture.The investigation is confirmed for the catheter shaft and balloon detachment, as the distal portion of the inner lumen and the remaining portion of the balloon were detached from the device.The definitive root cause for the identified balloon compound rupture, balloon detachment and catheter shaft detachment could not be determined based upon available information.It is unknown whether patient or procedural issues contributed to the event.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.
