Block h6: imdrf device code a041001 captures the reportable event of a balloon pinhole in the esophagus.Block h11: investigation results- the returned cre wireguided dilatation balloon was analyzed, and a visual inspection found no damages to the device.Functional and microscopic inspection found a pinhole approximately 14 mm from the tip of the device.No other problems with the device were noted.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes the reported event of balloon pinhole was confirmed.The pinhole found is likely to have 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 previous to the procedure could have caused the pinhole found on the distal section of the balloon.Therefore, the most probable root cause is an adverse event related to procedure.
