Visual and functional analysis was performed on the returned device.The reported inflation issue and balloon rupture were confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history revealed no other similar incidents.The investigation determined that the reported difficulties were likely due to case related circumstances.It is likely that the rupture occurred due to interaction with lesion calcification or associated devices.The scratch noted at the rupture site further suggests interaction to the outer surface of the balloon caused the pinhole.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
