Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).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.Functional evaluation could not be performed as the balloon lumen was occluded, and it was not possible to unclog it.The balloon was then microscopically inspected and found that the balloon had a pinhole located at the proximal section over 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.A labeling review was performed and from the information available, this device was used per the directions for use (dfu)/product label.
