Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr.: mustang device - 4x15x135 was received for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the device was subjected to positive pressure.A microscopic examination identified a balloon pinhole located approximately 14mm proximal of the distal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.A visual and microscopic examination observed no damage to the tip of the device.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.Both markerbands were undamaged and present on the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during analysis.
