Device evaluated by mfr.: mustang 4.0 x 40, 40cm was received for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that it was subjected to positive pressure.A partial balloon circumferential tear was identified located approximately 15mm distal of the distal markerband.From the partial circumferential tear, the balloon was also torn longitudinally for approximately 27mm distally.No other issues were noted with the balloon material.As per mustang specification, the rated burst pressure for this device is 24 atmospheres.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.This concludes the product analysis.
