Problem code 1074 captures the reportable issue of balloon burst.Investigation results: a visual examination of the returned complaint device found that the balloon was noted to be burst.No damage found on the catheter of the device.Functional evaluation could not be performed due to the condition of the returned device.This failure is likely due to factors encountered during the procedure, such as the manner the device was handled and/or interaction with the scope, that could have affected its performance and its intended purpose.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.
