Block h6: problem code 1149 captures the reportable event of balloon failed to deflate.Block h10: investigation results a visual examination of the returned complaint device revealed that the balloon did not have any visual defects and was in a good condition.The catheter of the device was carefully inspected and no damages were found.It was noted that the guidewire was kinked.Functional evaluation was performed by attaching the device into an alliance inflation system, the balloon was inflated without problem; there were no leaks, holes, pinholes noted and the balloon was able to hold the pressure.Additionally, the balloon was able to deflate successfully.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 technique used by the physician during the procedure, the amount of strength applied by the customer during the movement of the guidewire and/or the interaction between the scope and the balloon.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.
