It was reported that the patient underwent unknown surgery at l1-l2 due to 2 level compression fracture.Intra-op, the balloon would not expand initially because the band on the proximal portion of the balloon that has the size of the kit on it (15/2) was loose.It slides up and down shaft of the balloon and could accidentally be implanted in the patient.It was not noticed and the balloon went up to 700 psi.Later it slipped out of the band and expanded rapidly.There was delay in overall procedure time and the procedure was successfully completed with the original product.There were no patient symptoms or complication reported as a result of this event.
