Manufacturer Narrative
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.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied when liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole located at the distal end of the proximal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and proximal markerband identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The rated burst pressure for this device is 12 atmospheres as per wolverine specification.The markerbands, blades and tip section 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.All blades were present and fully bonded to the balloon material.A visual and tactile examination identified no kinks or damage to the hypotube of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
