Device eval by mfr: the device was returned, and analysis completed.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.Blood was observed inside the balloon which is evidence of a device leak.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 approximately 4mm distal of the proximal balloon bond.A visual and tactile examination identified no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.A visual examination identified no issues with the tip of the device.
