Investigation result: a visual examination of the complaint device revealed the device did not have any visual defects.The inner radio opaque (ro) markers inside the balloon were inspected for any sharp edge but none of them showed abnormalities.Functional analysis was performed, and the balloon was inflated; however, a pinhole was found in the proximal ro marker.This failure is likely due to factors encountered during the procedure and/or the interaction with the scope that could have affected its performance and its intended purpose.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.
