Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr.: returned product consisted of an emerge mr balloon catheter.The device was visually and microscopically examined.There were numerous kinks to the hypotube of the device.There was contrast in the inflation lumen and blood in the guidewire lumen.The balloon was tightly folded.At 47mm from the tip of the device, the guidewire lumen was buckled with a length of 4mm.The buckle contained a prolapse of the lumen and a puncture hole consistent with an interaction of a guidewire.Product analysis could not confirm reported burst.Analysis shows the guidewire lumen was buckled and punctured which is consistent with an interaction with a guidewire during procedural use.The balloon folds were also tight which indicates the balloon was not inflated.
