Block h6: device code a0402 captures the reportable event of balloon burst.Block h10: investigation result the returned cre wireguided 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 distal section of the balloon.Microscopic inspection found the balloon had a pinhole located approximately 45mm from the tip.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event of balloon burst cannot be confirmed.The pinhole problem found could have been interpreted by the customer as the reported event of balloon burst.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 patient anatomy.It is possible that factors encountered during the procedure, such as the interaction with scope or any other 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.
