Device evaluated by mfr.: mustang 6.0 x 200, 135cm was received for analysis.The device was received in two sections due to a complete shaft break.A visual examination identified that the balloon protector was partially removed from the balloon.The investigator successfully removed the balloon protector from the balloon without issue.A visual and microscopic examination found no issues with the balloon material which could potentially have contributed to the complaint incident.No issues were noted with the tip section of the device.A visual and microscopic examination found no issue with the markerbands.A visual and tactile examination found the shaft of the device to be detached at approximately 15mm proximal of the proximal markerband.This type of damage is consistent with excessive tensile force being applied to the device.
