Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.The balloon protector of the device was not returned for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.Blood was identified within the balloon and lumen which is evidence of a device leak.The returned device was attached to a boston scientific encore inflation unit and positive pressure was applied in an attempt to inflate the balloon.The balloon could not be inflated due to the presence of solidified media that was present within the inflation lumen.The device was soaked in a water bath at a temperature of 37 degrees celsius to help soften the media before further inflation attempts were made.The device was removed from the bath and the balloon was again attached to an inflation device subjected to positive pressure and liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole located approximately 6mm distal to the distal end of the proximal markerband.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 spcb flextome specification.A visual and tactile examination identified no issues with the hypotube or shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
