Block a2: patient's exact age is unknown; however it was reported that the patient was over the age of 18.Block e1: initial reported facility name: (b)(6).Initial reporter address: (b)(6).Block h6: problem code a041001 captures the reportable event of balloon pinhole.Block h10: investigation results a visual examination of the returned complaint device found that the balloon and the catheter of device had no damages.Functional analysis was performed, and the balloon was inflated without a problem; however, the balloon would not hold pressure due to a pinhole located in the distal section of the balloon.It is possible that interaction with the scope or any other surface during the procedure could create friction on the balloon, causing the reported issue of balloon pinhole during the procedure.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.A labeling review was performed and from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu)/product label.
