The balloon working length was measured using a microvu scope and was determined to be out of spec.In normal lab investigation practice, a ruler is used to measure the balloon working length which met specification; however, for this particular case, additionally a microvu scope was used for a more precise measurement.The scoring element was removed from the balloon to accurately measure the balloon working length.Using a microvu scope, the balloon working length was measured three times (41.6707, 41.7060, and 41.8210) and was determined to be out of spec.The balloon working length specification is 40 mm +/- 1.5 mm.
