WHEN POSITIVE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED WITH AN INFLATION DEVICE FILLED WITH WATER, A STREAM OF WATER EMITTED FROM A PINHOLE IN THE BALLOON WALL 3MM FROM THE DISTAL EDGE OF THE PROXIMAL MARKERBAND. THE BALLOON PRESENTED NO IRREGULARITIES IN THE BALLOON MATERIAL OR THE RO MARKER THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DAMAGE. THE MANUFACTURING BATCH RECORD REVIEW CONFIRMED THAT THE DEVICE MET ALL MATERIAL, ASSEMBLY AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS. THE MOST PROBABLE ROOT CAUSE IS OPERATIONAL CONTEXT AS DEVICE PERFORMANCE WAS LIMITED DUE TO ANATOMICAL/PROCEDURAL FACTORS. (B)(4).
