Manufacturer Narrative

Initial reporter address: (b)(6).(b)(4).Investigation result: a visual examination of the returned complaint device found that the balloon and catheter did not have any visual defects and was in a good condition.Functional evaluation was performed, and the balloon was inflated without a problem; however, the balloon would not hold pressure due to a pinhole located at the proximal section of the balloon.This failure is likely due to factors or conditions related to procedure during the use of the device, such as the manner in which the device was handled and manipulated, and/or the interaction between the scope and device, 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.A labeling review was performed and from the information available, this device was used per the directions for use (dfu)/product label.
