Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Initial reporter address 1: (b)(6).Device evaluated by mfr.: returned product consisted of a maverick 2mr balloon catheter.The device was visually and microscopically examined.At 72.9cm from the strain relief, the hypotube was separated.The separated ends were ovaled in shape indicating the device was kinked prior to separation.There was blood and contrast in the manifold of the device.The balloon was tightly folded.Product analysis could not confirm the reported event as the clinical circumstances could not be replicated.There was unreported separation to the hypotube of the device which is consistent to damage caused by advancing the catheter.
