Event Description
|
It was reported to boston scientific corporation that a cre pro gi wireguided dilatation balloon was used during an esophageal stenosis dilatation procedure performed on (b)(6) 2021.During the procedure, the balloon was inflated to 3 atm; however, the balloon position got shifted.Therefore, deflation was performed and it was noticed that the balloon was difficult to deflate.Reportedly, the device was able to pull into the scope channel and was inserted back into the lesion.Another attempt was made to inflate the balloon; however, it was noted that the balloon have a pinhole.The procedure was completed with another cre pro gi wireguided dilatation balloon.There were no patient complications reported as a result of this event.

Block h6: device code a1401 captures the reportable event of balloon unable to deflate.Device code a041001 captures the reportable event of balloon pinhole.Block h10: investigation result: a visual examination of the returned complaint device found that the balloon and the catheter did not have any damages.Functional analysis was performed, and the balloon was inflated without a problem; however, the balloon would not hold pressure due to a pinhole in the distal section of body of the balloon.The balloon also deflated well during the functional test, thus does not confirm the reported event of unable to deflate.The found pinhole problem confirms the reported event of the balloon pinhole.It is possible that interaction with scope and other surfaces during the procedure could create friction on the balloon, causing the balloon pinhole during the procedure.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.
