Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).Investigation results: a visual examination of the returned complaint device found that the balloon did not have any visual defects and was in a good condition.The catheter was kinked in several sections.The outer diameter of the catheter was measured in three sections, and all sections were found to be within specifications.Functional evaluation was performed and the balloon was inflated without problem; however, the balloon would not hold pressure due to a pinhole located over the proximal section of the ro marker.This failure is likely due to factors or conditions related to the procedure during the use of the device, such as 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.
