Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Patient's exact age is unknown; however it was reported that the patient was over the age of 18.(b)(4).Investigation result: a visual examination of the returned complaint device revealed that the balloon did not have any visual defects.Under a vision system, however, a pinhole was found in the balloon material.The inner radio opaque (ro) markers inside the balloon were inspected for any sharp edge but none of them showed abnormalities.Functional evaluation was performed by attaching the device into an alliance inflation system, the balloon was inflated without problem; however, the balloon would not hold pressure due to the pinhole on balloon material.This failure is likely due to factors encountered during the procedure, such as handling of the device, the technique used by the physician and normal procedural difficulties encountered during the procedure, that could have affected device 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.A labeling review was performed and from the information available, this device was used per the directions for use (dfu)/product label.
