Reason

To inform customers that specific product code / lot number combinations may be at risk of having a balloon wall thickness that is higher than the required specification, which could result in a slight increase in the force required to advance the balloon through the sheath and/or withdraw the balloon after inflation and deflation, and could potentially lead to a slight prolongation of the procedure. Potentially, there may also be an increase in the balloon's non-compliance and rigidity. Product return is not required.
