(b)(4).Investigation results: visual examination of the returned complaint device found the balloon did not show visual defects and looked normal.The catheter was noted to have kinks in several sections.Functional analysis was performed, and the balloon was inflated without a problem; however, the balloon would not hold pressure due to a pinhole in the middle section of the balloon.This failure is likely due to factors or conditions related to the procedure that could have affected its performance and its intended purpose such as; the manner as the device was handled, and/or the interaction with the scope during the procedure.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.
