Product analysis: the shaft of the ibt is bent near the "y" connection port.There is blood on the balloon.It is not stated if the balloon had been inflated prior to being inserted into the cannula.Once the balloons are used they may not be able to be deflated and reinserted again as these ibts are one-time use.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
