Qn#(b)(4) the device lot number was not provided; therefore a dhr review could not be conducted.No alleged sample was returned for investigation.Hence, investigation was conducted based on document review.According to the description of the complaint, it could be conclude that the balloon was overinflated with more than 20ml of fluid.Overinflation may cause the collapse of lumen as well as lumen occlusion due to balloon asymmetry.Therefore this complaint could not be confirmed.
