Block e1: initial reporter phone: (b)(6).Block h6: problem code 1504 for the reportable issue of balloon hole.Block h10: investigation results: visual examination of the returned complaint device found the balloon did not show visual defects and was in good condition.No damage found on the catheter of the device.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 the balloon.This failure is likely due to factors encountered during the procedure, such as handling of the device, the technique used by the physician, the amount of strength applied by the customer during the movement of the balloon and/or the interaction between the scope, that could have affected device 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.
