Device evaluated by mfr.: a synergy xd mr us 2.25 x 20mm stent delivery system was returned for analysis without the stent and with a stopcock valve attached to the manifold.Stent was not returned as it was positioned and deployed at the lesion site.The balloon cones were reviewed, and the balloon appeared in a partially inflated state with clear hard liquid noted inside and crimp markings evident on the balloon wall.The balloon folds were partially opened and not fully flattened.A visual and microscopic examination of the bumper tip showed distal tip damage.A visual and tactile examination of the hypotube found no issues.The manifold and hub visual examination found no issues.A visual and tactile examination of the outer and mid-shaft section and a visual examination of the inner lumen found no issues.The device was placed in water bath overnight for soaking pre-inflation test due dried liquid inside.Following soaking, the device was loaded onto a 0.014" guide wire and loaded into a test guide catheter without issue.The balloon was inflated with no issues and balloon folds clearly flattened following test deflation.Vacuum was pulled and the balloon deflated in 08 seconds with no issues.The encore inflation device was verified before and after use.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
