Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: the device was returned for analysis.A visual and tactile examination identified that the hypotube was kinked at more than one location and the shaft polymer extrusion was kinked at the guidewire port.This type of damage is consistent with excessive force being applied to the delivery system.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not subjected to positive pressure.An examination of the balloon identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.A visual and microscopic examination identified no damage to the tip, markerbands or blades of the device.All blades were present and fully bonded to the balloon material.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
