    INVESTIGATION - EVALUATION. A REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINT HISTORY, DRAWINGS, DEVICE HISTORY RECORD, DOCUMENTATION, INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (IFU), MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS, AND QUALITY CONTROL WAS CONDUCTED DURING THE INVESTIGATION. THE COMPLAINT DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED; THEREFORE, NO PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS COULD BE PERFORMED. HOWEVER, A DOCUMENT BASED INVESTIGATION EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THE PRODUCT WAS NOT MADE TO SPECIFICATIONS. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD SHOWS NO NONCONFORMING EVENTS WHICH COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THIS FAILURE MODE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THERE WERE NO OTHER REPORTED COMPLAINTS FOR THIS LOT NUMBER. THE DEVICE IS SHIPPED WITH INSTRUCTION FOR USE (IFU) WHICH NOTES: "THE CATHETER SHOULD NOT BE ADVANCED THROUGH AN AREA OF RESISTANCE UNLESS THE SOURCE OF RESISTANCE IS IDENTIFIED BY FLUOROSCOPY AND APPROPRIATE STEPS ARE TAKEN TO REDUCE OR REMOVE THE OBSTRUCTION." BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED AND NO PRODUCT RETURNED, INVESTIGATION HAS CONCLUDED THE CAUSE OF THIS EVENT CANNOT BE TRACED TO THE DEVICE. WE WILL CONTINUE OUR MONITORING OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND HAVE NOTIFIED THE APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL OF THIS EVENT. PER THE QUALITY ENGINEERING RISK ASSESSMENT, NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.

THE COMPLAINT DEVICE WAS INFLATED ONCE WITH A 50/50 MIXTURE OF CONTRAST TO SALINE WHEN IT RUPTURED BELOW NOMINAL PRESSURE, REPORTEDLY BETWEEN 6 AND 7 ATMOSPHERES. THE 90% OCCLUDED LESION WAS REPORTED TO BE "EXTREMELY CALCIFIED", HOWEVER TORTUOSITY WAS NOT REPORTED. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE BALLOON RUPTURED CIRCUMFERENTIALLY OR LONGITUDINALLY.
