Block h6: patient code e1032 is being used to capture the reportable issue of vomiting.Impact code f2202 is being used to capture the reportable issue of endoscopic procedure.Block h10: the orbera bib intragastric balloon system was not returned, however based on the investigation provided, the balloon is deflated and it appears to be distorted.The reported event of balloon deflated was confirmed.Media analysis found that the balloon was deflated.Based on the information provided, it was reported that the patient had green urine due to methylene blue.The intragastric balloon system directions for use (ifu) states "the igb is placed in the stomach and filled with sterile saline." for this reason, this event is catalogued as "failure to follow instructions" because the problems traced to the user not following the manufacturer's instructions.For the reported event of balloon damaged/defective, and based on the information provided, the most probable cause of the reported issue cannot be established due to lack of evidence.The product was not returned for analysis to identify any defect with the device.Additionally, without proper evaluation of the device, it remains unknown the most probable causes that contributed to the event.Since the investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the cause of the reported adverse event it is concluded as cause not established.For the reported event of balloon deflated and vomiting, this adverse event is known and documented in the labeling and all reasonable steps have been taken (including both short or long term known complications or adverse reactions), for this reason this event is catalogued as "known inherent risk of device." therefore, the most probable root cause for this complaint is cause not established.
