Block h6: medical device problem code a041001 captures the reportable event of balloon pinhole.Block h10: investigation result a visual examination of the returned complaint device found that the balloon and the catheter of the device did not have any damages.The balloon was returned covered with the protective sleeve.Functional analysis was performed, and the balloon was inflated without a problem; however, the balloon would not hold pressure due to two pinholes in the distal and medium section on the body of the balloon.Media analysis of the photo submitted by the customer confirmed the pinholes in the distal and medium section of the balloon.The presence of a pinhole confirms the reported event.It is possible that the technique used by the physician and/or the interaction with the scope when the physician advanced the balloon could have caused that the balloon was damage 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 directions for use (dfu)/product label.
