Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Block h6: imdrf device code a041001 captures the reportable event of a balloon pinhole in the esophagus.Block h11: investigation results: the returned cre fixed wire dilatation balloon was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted no damages.Functional testing was performed and found a pinhole in the balloon located approximately 109 mm from the tip of the device, which was confirmed during microscopic inspection.No other problems with the device were noted.With all the available information, boston scientific (bsc) concludes the reported event of balloon pinhole was confirmed.The returned device was inspected, and functional testing revealed a balloon pinhole located approximately 109 mm from the device tip.It is possible that the pinhole found in the balloon occurred due to procedural factors such as excess pressure, interaction with other devices, or anatomical conditions.Also, it is possible that interaction with a sharp surface during or after the procedure could have caused the pinhole on the distal section of the balloon.Therefore, the most probable root cause is an adverse event related to procedure.
