Device evaluated by mfr.: a gladiator 8 x 60,75cm was returned for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.A longitudinal tear was identified in the balloon material.The tear measured 63mm in length and extended from a position 5mm distal from the proximal markerband to the proximal end of the distal markerband.A visual and microscopic examination of the markerbands identified no issues which may potentially have contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.A visual and tactile examination identified no damage to the tip which may have potentially contributed to the complaint incident.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
