Block h6: imdrf 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 pinhole in the body middle section of the balloon.Microscopic inspection found had a pinhole located approximately at 50 mm from the tip.No other problems with the device were noted.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event was confirmed.Product analysis determined that 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 any surface during the procedure could create friction on the balloon and cause of balloon pinhole.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the directions for use (dfu) / product label.
