(b)(4).Investigation results: visual examination of the returned complaint device found the balloon did not show visual defects and looked normal.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 end of the balloon.This failure is likely due to factors encountered during the procedure, such as handling or manipulation during the preparation, initial set-up or procedure 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.
