H1 = upon review of the file, it was discovered that the complaint device was leaking from a hole in the catheter shaft, not the balloon material as originally reported.Per a search of risk documentation and previous complaint data, there is no evidence to suggest that this device failure would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury if the failure were to recur.Furthermore, there is no evidence that the device caused or contributed to a serious injury, as no life-threatening or permanently impairing injury was alleged, nor was intervention taken as a result of the device failure which would be required to prevent permanent impairment or damage to the patient.As such, the event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death, serious injury, or reportable product malfunction.
