Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A mustang device was returned for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.The rated burst pressure for this device is 22 atmospheres as per mustang specification.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 3mm proximal from the proximal 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 identified multiple balloon inner shaft kinks.A visual and tactile examination identified no damage to the tip which may have potentially contributed to the complaint incident.This concludes the product analysis.
