Device evaluated by mfr.: mustang 12.0 x 80, 135 cm 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 longitudinal tear starting at approximately 10 mm from the proximal end of the proximal markerband extending the whole balloon length to approximately 10 mm from the distal end of the distal markerband.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.
