E1- initial reporter address: (b)(6).Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was received together with the 5fr sheath used by the customer.The recommended sheath size as per pcb 2cm specification for this device is a minimum 6fr.The returned device was received together with the 5fr sheath used by the customer.On analysis, the investigator was unable to advance the device through a boston scientific 6fr sheath due to a balloon pinhole and damage to one of the blades on the device.A visual and microscopic examination found one of the blades together with its pad to be partially lifted distally from the balloon material beginning from the proximal end and extending approximately 16mm distally.The remaining 4mm of blade and its pad remained fully bonded to the balloon material.All other blades were present and fully bonded to the surface of the balloon.No issues were noted that may have potentially contributed to the complaint incident.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the device was subjected to positive pressure.Blood was identified within the balloon which is evidence of a device leak.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied when liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole located approximately 5mm proximal of the distal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The rated burst pressure for this device is 10 atmospheres.No issue was observed with the tip or markerbands of the device.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
