Additional Manufacturer Narrative

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 1mm proximal of the distal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and distal markerband identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The rated burst pressure for this device is 10 atmospheres as per pcb2cm specification.A visual and microscopic examination observed no damage to the tip or blades.All blades were present and fully bonded to the balloon surface.A visual and tactile examination identified no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
