Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr.: express-b-i ld, pmtd.7.0x30x75cm, was returned for analysis.A visual examination of the returned device confirmed that the balloon had been subjected to positive pressure.Blood noted inside the balloon is evidence of a device leak.A leak test could not be carried out due to a complete separation of the shaft.No other issues were noted with the balloon.The device was received with stent fully deployed from the delivery system.The deployed stent was not returned for analysis.A visual examination found the tip of the device to be severely damaged.This type of damage is consistent with the device encountering resistance when crossing/advancing the lesion.A visual and tactile examination found the shaft of the device to be completely separated at the proximal balloon sleeve.This type of damage is consistent with excessive tensile force being applied to the device.
