Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Block h6: device code a041001 captures the reportable event of balloon pinhole.Block h10: investigation result: 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 balloon body.Microscopic inspection found the balloon had a pinhole located approximately 32mm from the tip.No other problems with the device were noted.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event of balloon pinhole was confirmed.It is possible that factors encountered during the procedure, such as the interaction with scope and other sharp devices 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.
