Reason

Teleflex has found extension line leaks on the balloon extension line during quality inspection for a lot of catheters. The leak will cause the balloon to deflate slowly and appears to be caused by two parallel scratches or cuts coming from outside the extension (one on the printed side, one on the non-printed side) and can leak from one or both scratches or cuts.
