Manufacturer Narrative
|
Device evaluation by manufacturer: mustang 10.0 x 40, 75cm, batch# 26298473, 14atm was received for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the device was subjected to positive pressure.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied using glycerol/water when liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole located approximately 12mm proximal of the proximal markerband.The balloon could not maintain pressure due to the pinhole.The rated burst pressure for this device is 14 atmospheres as per mustang specification.A visual examination observed no issues or damage to the tip of the device.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage the shaft of the device.A visual examination observed no issues with the markerbands of the device.Both markerbands were undamaged and present on the shaft of the device.This concludes the product analysis.
