Device code a1401 captures the reportable event of balloon failure to deflate.Investigation results the returned extractor pro rx retrieval balloon was analyzed and found that the balloon and the catheter of device had no damages.Functional analysis could not be performed due to the balloon lumen being occluded by dry contrast, and the occlusion could not be unblocked; this occlusion is normal due to the use of contrast during the procedure.With all available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event of balloon could not be deflated was not confirmed.The balloon was found blocked with dry contrast medium, since the balloon could not be tested it could not be functionally/visually verified.Therefore, the most probable root cause is cause not established.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.
