The device was returned for analysis.Visual and tactile inspection confirmed a break in the hypotube, accompanied by multiple kinks on both sides of the break.The break was located 54.9 cm distal to the distal end of the strain relief.No kinks or damage were observed in the shaft's polymer extrusion.Detailed microscopic examination of the balloon material revealed no tears or pinholes.Additionally, the proximal and distal marker bands showed no signs of damage under magnification.The distal tip was also intact, with no evidence of tip damage.No other device-related issues were identified during the returned product analysis.
