Device evaluated by mfr: 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.A longitudinal tear was identified in the balloon material.The tear measured 21mm in length and extended from a position 42mm proximal of the distal markerband to 13mm 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 examination of the markerbands identified no issues which may potentially have contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination identified no kinks or damage to the shaft which may have potentially contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination identified no damage to the tip which may have potentially contributed to the complaint incident.
