Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Device evaluated by manufacturer: 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.Blood was present in the balloon which is indicative of a leak.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 60mm distal from the proximal markerband.A visual examination of the markerbands identified no issues.A visual and tactile examination identified no kinks or damage to the shaft.A visual and tactile examination identified no damage to the tip.
