B3: date of event: used the first date of the month of the aware date as no event date was provided.Device evaluated by mfr.: the mustang 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 leak test identified a balloon pinhole located at the distal markerband.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.A visual and tactile examination found the tip of the device to be severely damaged.This type of damage is consistent with resistance being encountered when crossing a challenging lesion.A visual examination observed no issues with the markerbands of the device.Both markerbands were undamaged in the correct position on the device.
