Patient's exact age is unknown; however it was reported that the patient was over the age of 18.(b)(4).A visual examination of the complaint device revealed that the balloon and the catheter did not have any visual defects.Functional analysis was performed, and the balloon was inflated without a problem; however, the balloon would not hold pressure due to the two pinholes near the middle and distal sections on the body of the balloon.This failure is likely due to factors or conditions related to procedure during the use of the device and/or the presence of sharp objects during the procedure in the dilatation area as the elevator of the scope that was reported as a sharp object by the customer 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.
