Imdrf device code a140101 captures the reportable event of balloon failure to deflate.Block h11: investigation results the returned extractor pro rx retrieval balloon was analyzed, and a visual inspection found no damages to the device.Functional inspection was performed, and the balloon was able to be inflated without problem and hold the pressure without any evidence of a possible leak of air.No other problems with the device were noted.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event of balloon failure to deflate was not confirmed.The product analysis did not identify any evidence of either the alleged problem or any defect on the device.Therefore, the most probable root cause is no problem detected.
