Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
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 14mm in length and extended from a position 70mm distal of the proximal markerband to 84mm distal of the proximal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.A visual 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.
