    ACCORDING TO THE REPORTER, PRE-OPERATIVELY, WHEN TESTING THE DEVICE, THE BALLOON WAS DISTORTED OR HAD AN UNUSUAL SHAPE. WHEN THE DEVICE WAS OPENED, IT WAS SEEN THAT THE FIRST SMALL STRUCTURAL BALLOON WAS LOOSE OR OUT OF SHAPE. IT AS IT LOOSE AND NOT ROLLED UP, THE DEVICE COULD NOT BE PUSHED THROUGH THE TROCAR. THE DEVICE GETS STUCK IN THE TROCAR. THE CUSTOMER TRIED TO GET ONE MORE DEVICE THROUGH THE TROCAR BUT FAILED AS THE BALLOON WAS COMPLETELY LOOSE. THE DEVICE WENT THROUGH THE TROCAR VERY UNCOMFORTABLY. A MOVING MANIPULATION WAS THEN USED TO REMOVE THE DEVICE FROM THE TROCAR. SEVERAL OTHER DEVICES FROM SEVERAL BOXES HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THERE WAS NO PATIENT INVOLVEMENT.
