What's the hazard

The balloon may exhibit resistance to the removal of the balloon cover. Weakening of the affected product in the region of the proximal balloon seal may occur when excessive force is applied to remove the balloon cover. This may lead to balloon burst, shaft separation or deflation difficulties, which could result in procedural delay, vessel trauma or surgery.
