Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by manufacturer: one of the blades approximately 2 mm proximal of the distal markerband was lifted from the balloon material.The balloon material was returned partially inflated with inflation medium within the balloon material.The damage identified is consistent with excessive force being applied when resistance is encountered during the withdrawal of the device.
