Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for evaluation and the clinical observation could not be confirmed.As received, there was not any issues or irregularities were found with the occlusion balloon catheter hub, body or distal tip.The occlusion balloon catheter was flushed with water and water exited from the distal tip.During evaluation, inflation test of balloon was performed with mandrel inserted into the distal tip of the balloon.An unsuccessful attempt was made to inflate the balloon as it was found to be leaking distal to the distal marker band.Upon microscopic examination, a defect (tear) in the chronoprene tubing was found at the location of the leak.No ¿ruptures¿ were found with the balloon.Based on the device evaluation event did not meet the reporting criteria.The balloon could not maintain inflation due to the defect (tear) in the chronoprene tubing.The defect observed is consistent with mechanical or navigation related damage rather than those caused by over-inflation (rupture).All balloons are 100% leak tested and all devices are 100% inspected for damages and irregularities during manufacture.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
