Evaluation summary visual and tactile inspections were performed on the device: dry blood was found on the device and also inside the guidewire lumen and the inflating lumen.The folding on the balloon was still visible.The guide wire lumen was flushed and a 0,035¿¿ guide wire was successfully advanced through the device.Negative pressure was applied to the balloon: the purging procedure failed.Positive pressure was applied to the balloon, to identify the problem, but dry blood obstructed the inflating lumen.In order to detect the leak, the shaft was cut and a needle was inserted in the inflating lumen.Positive pressure was then applied to the balloon and a pinhole was clearly found on the balloon, at 3 cm from the tip.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
