Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: mustang 12.0 x 80, 75cm was received for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.A complete balloon circumferential tear was identified located approximately 50mm distal of the proximal balloon bond.This type of damage most probably occurred when the device was being withdrawn through the sheath.The distal section of balloon material including a section of shaft, the distal markerband and tip of the device was not returned for analysis.The rated burst pressure for this device as per mustang specification is 14 atmospheres.A visual and tactile examination found the shaft of the device to have completely separated at a location proximal of the distal tip bond.The distal section of shaft including the distal section of balloon material, the distal markerband and tip of the device was not returned for analysis.The shaft is also severely stretched distal of the proximal markerband.The distal section of the device including a section of balloon material, a section of shaft the distal markerband and tip of the device was not returned for analysis.A visual examination observed that the distal section of the device including the distal markerband, a section of balloon material, a section of shaft and tip of the device was not returned for analysis.The proximal markerband was undamaged in the correct position on the device.
