There are controls in the manufacturing process to ensure the product met specifications upon release.The subject device is not available; therefore, visual testing as well as functional testing cannot be performed.The reported event is covered in the device directions for use (dfu).As well, the risk of the reported event is documented in the risk documentation and there are current controls to mitigate the risk of the as reported event.The reported complaint could not be confirmed, and it could not be definitively determined if the device failed to meet specifications because the product was not returned.It was reported that an attempt was made to deflate the balloon inside the patient's anatomy, but was unable to do so.The balloon gradually deflated when the catheter was attempted to be removed as it was.Additional information states that the balloon inflated successfully during preparation, a 1cc syringe was used to inflate the balloon, the device was prepared for use as per the directions for use, the device was confirmed to be in good condition during preparation/prior to use on the patient, continuous flush set up and maintained throughout the clinical procedure and the patients anatomy was very meandering.As the device was not returned and analysis of all of the available information fails to indicate an assignable cause or probable assignable cause for the reported event, an assignable cause of undeterminable will be assigned to this event of 'balloon difficult/unable to deflate during use'.H3 other text : the device is not available to the manufacturer.
