(b)(4).Visual examination found that the device pouch had indentations and small pinholes and that the complaint device catheter was kinked.Functional analysis found that the balloon inflated successfully with no damage observed.It is most likely that the failures found are related to the inappropriate transport or storage of the device; therefore the most probable root cause is cause traced to transport/storage.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.
