Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Device evaluated by manufacturer: 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 visual examination identified that there was blood in the balloon material which suggests that there is a leak in the device.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied when liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole detected in the mid-section of the balloon material.An examination of the balloon material identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.A visual and microscopic examination observed no damage to the blades.All blades were intact and fully bonded to the balloon surface.No damage or any issues were noted with the blades that could have contributed to the complaint incident.No issues were noted with the tip section of the device.A visual and microscopic examination of the markerbands was completed.There was no burrs or uneven edges observed on the markerbands.No damage or any issues were noted with the markerbands that could have contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination identified no issues with the shaft which may have potentially contributed to the complaint incident.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
