Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: device code a0402 captures the reportable event of balloon burst.Block h10: investigation results a visual examination of the returned complaint device found that the balloon and the catheter of the device did not have any damages.The balloon had some friction marks in the distal side.Functional evaluation was performed, and the balloon was inflated without problem; however, the balloon would not hold pressure due to a pinhole located in the distal section on the body of the balloon.This does not confirm the reported event of balloon burst; however, the pinhole problem found could have been interpreted by the customer as the reported event of balloon burst.The pinhole problem is likely due to factors encountered during the procedure, such as the interaction between the balloon and the scope or any other surface during the procedure that could have created friction, resulting in the found failure of balloon pinhole.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.
