Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Block h6: device code a041001 captures the reportable event of balloon pinhole.Block h10: investigation results: the returned cre pulmonary dilatation balloon was analyzed and a visual examination found that the balloon and catheter of the 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 in the middle section of the balloon.Microscopic inspection found the balloon had a pinhole located approximately 30mm from the tip.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes the pinhole found in the balloon is likely to have occurred due to factors encountered during the procedure; excess pressure, interaction with other devices, or anatomical affairs.It is possible that factors encountered during the procedure such as interaction with any surface during the procedure could create friction on the balloon and cause a pinhole therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.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.A labeling review was performed and from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu)/product label.
