(b)(4).A visual and tactile inspection was performed on the device: three damages were found on the shaft.The biggest was at the beginning of the working length: the shaft was kinked at the end of the strain relief.Two slightly squeezed areas were found on the shaft at 22cm and 70 cm of the working length.Evident traces of blood were found on the device.The balloon was found partially unfolded, but the protection sheath was found on the balloon.The guide wire lumen was flushed and it was possible to insert the 0,035¿¿ guide wire without any resistance.The purging procedure was performed with no issues.In order to verify the correct profile of the balloon, the device was inserted in a 7f cordis introducer sheath.No resistance was felt both during insertion and extraction.The crossing profile was measured at the proximal balloon welding, in the central part and distal part of the balloon.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
