Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: the complaint device was received for product analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.A partial balloon circumferential tear was identified located approximately 17mm proximal of the distal markerband.This type of damage most probably occurred when the user attempted to withdraw the device through the sheath.The rated burst pressure for this device as per specification is 24 atmospheres.A visual and tactile examination found the shaft of the device to be kinked at more than one location.This type of damage is consistent with excessive force being applied to the device.A visual examination found no issues with the tip of the device.A visual examination found no issues with the markerbands of the device.This concludes the product analysis.
