Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation results; a visual examination of the returned complaint device found multiple kinks along the length of the device.The balloon was tightly folded, unused and the balloon protector was still in position over the balloon material.No issues were noted with the balloon material and the tip or markerbands of the device.The noted failure likely occurred due to handling/manipulation of the device during preparation that could have affected the device performance and its integrity; therefore, the most probable root cause is handling damage.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.A labeling review was performed and from the information available, there was no evidence that the device was used in a manner inconsistent with the labeled indications.A search of the complaint database revealed that no other complaints exist for the specified lot.
