Block h6: device code a0402 captures the reportable issue of balloon burst.Block h10: the returned cre wireguided dase balloon was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the balloon was torn circumferentially.A microscopic evaluation noted that the circumferential tear was 60 mm from the tip.No other problems with the device were noted.The circumferential tear problem found could have been interpreted by the customer as the reported event of balloon burst.The torn problem found in the balloon is likely to have occurred due to factors encountered during the procedure, device interaction with a scope.These factors and interactions could influence the damage found in the balloon.However, it is possible that interaction with any surface during the procedure could create friction on the balloon, causing the problem of circumferential tear during the procedure.For this reason, the event is classified as "adverse event related to procedure" because the adverse event occurred during the procedure and the device had no influence on the event.
