Device evaluated by mfr.: the device 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 microscopic examination identified a balloon pinhole located approximately 40mm proximal of the distal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and markerband identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The rated burst pressure for this device is 24 atmospheres.A visual and microscopic examination observed no issues with the tip of the device which could potentially have contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination found no kinks or damage along the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
