Device evaluated by mfr: the device was returned for evaluation.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.A balloon longitudinal tear was identified beginning approximately 8mm proximal of the proximal markerband and extending approximately 56mm distally across the balloon material.The rated burst pressure for this device as per specification is 18 atmospheres.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.A visual and tactile examination found no damage to the tip of the device.A visual examination observed no issues with the markerbands of the device.Both markerbands were undamaged in the correct position on the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
