Manufacturer Narrative
|
Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.Based on potential root causes identified, the following attributes were considered during analysis: a visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.A red blood like substance in balloon was indicative of a leak.Device analysis identified a longitudinal tear starting at the proximal marker band and extending 12mm distally.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.All blades were fully bonded onto the balloon with no issues identified.No issues were noted with the tip section of the device.A visual and microscopic examination found no issue with the markerbands.A visual and tactile examination identified no issues.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
