E1: initial reporter facility name - (b)(6) medical center.E1: initial reporter address 1 - (b)(6).Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.An examination of the balloon material identified no tears in the balloon.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit and during an attempt to inflate the balloon, a pinhole leak was confirmed.The pinhole was located approximately 3 mm distal to the proximal marker band.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The rated burst pressure for this device is 12 atmospheres as per wolverine label specification.All blades were intact within their pads and fully bonded to the balloon material.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage to the hypotube or shaft of the device.The markerbands and tip and of the device were visually and microscopically examined, and no issues were noted with the device that may have potentially contributed to the complaint incident.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
