Patient's exact age is unknown; however it was reported that the patient was over the age of 18.(b)(4).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 body of the balloon.This failure is likely due to factors encountered during the procedure, such as handling or manipulation during the initial use or during the 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.
