Block h6: problem code a1401 captures the reportable event of balloon failed to deflate.Block h10: investigation result.Visual examination of the returned complaint device found that the catheter of the device was kinked and was cut on the distal end.The balloon portion of the device was not returned.A media inspection of the device was done based on a photo submitted by the customer and confirmed that the catheter had been cut close to the balloon.Dimensional examination of the catheter was performed, and the outer diameter was measured in three sections; distal, medium and proximal.The three sections were within specification.Based on the complaint information, the balloon could not deflate completely; it is probable the kink found on the catheter hindered deflation.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.
