Device evaluated by mfr., eval summary attached, method codes, result codes, conclusion codes updated.Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of an emerge balloon catheter.The balloon was loosely folded.There was blood in the inflation lumen.The tip, balloon, markerbands, and inner/outer shafts were microscopically and tactile inspected.Inspection revealed inner shaft damage (perforation) that was located 441 mm from the tip of the device, numerous kinks in the distal shaft and kinks in the hypotube located 2.5 cm and 34 cm from the strain relief.An inflation device (filled with water) was attached to the hub of the emerge, and when positive pressure was applied, water was found to be streaming from the tip of the device and the balloon could not retain pressure.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.The investigation conclusion is caused by other device as another device/drug/subsequent procedure caused the complaint event.(b)(4).
