(b)(6).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.No tears or holes were visible in the balloon.The device was attached to an encore inflation device and positive pressure was applied and device was inflated to its rated burst pressure (rpb) of 10 atmospheres as per directions for use.The inflation device was verified with a calibrated pressure gauge.The device was again inflated to its rpb and was held for 30 seconds without any drop in pressure.The balloon was deflated without issue and the inflation device was verified using the calibrated pressure gauge.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 found that the shaft was kinked 30mm proximal from the proximal markerband.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
