Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The balloon inflation pressures were recorded as within the acceptable pressure range at implantation.The root cause is unknown in particular since the deflated balloon was not returned for investigation.Deflation is a known risk and the frequency of balloon deflations to date has not exceeded the frequency included in the labeling.Per the labeling "patients reporting a loss of fullness, increased hunger, and/or weight gain should be examined by radiograph, as this may be a sign of balloon deflation.Additionally, any increase in nausea, vomiting and/or cramping after initial symptoms have subsided may indicate a deflated balloon.Patients should be evaluated by radiograph and endoscopic visualization might be required if the state of inflation cannot be determined radiographically.In the event of balloon deflation, the balloon should be removed as soon as possible." the instruction for use contains the following warning: "the risk of balloon deflation is significantly higher with balloons that are left longer than 6 months".
Event or Problem Description
