E1: initial reporter facility name: (b)(6).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.Blood was identified within the balloon and inflation lumen which is evidence of a device leak.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 located approximately 29mm distal to the distal end of the proximal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The rated burst pressure for this device is 14 atmospheres.A visual and microscopic examination observed no damage to the tip of the device.A visual and tactile examination identified no issues or damage to the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
