Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation: the pacific xtreme pta balloon catheter was received with the balloon chamber in a post-inflation profile, (e. G. Not tightly wrapped or winged), with sanguine residue within the balloon chamber. A 10cc water filled syringe was attached to the proximal hub luer lock of the y-manifold and the guidewire lumen was flushed; a clear steady stream of fluid was observed exiting the distal tip of the catheter. A 0. 018¿ guidewire was able to be loaded with ease through the distal tip and navigated out the proximal hub luer lock. A 10cc water filled syringe was attached to the inflation lumen luer lock and a vacuum could be pulled. The balloon chamber was lightly inflated with the water filled syringe a small pinhole leak was noted approximately in the middle of the balloon length. If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
