Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported separation was confirmed.Production record and corrective and preventative actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar complaints from this lot.Based on the reported information and the observations from the returned analysis, the investigation determined that the reported separation appears to be related to operational context.Return device analysis notes that the hypotube fracture face was in oval shaped which can indicate the hypotube was kinked and then separated.There was no damage noted to the balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) during the inspection prior to use which suggests a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported difficulties.In this case, it is likely that the bdc was inadvertently mishandled during preparation and/or advancement such that the shaft became kinked and upon further manipulation it ultimately separated.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.Correction: g4 - pma/510(k) #: updated from k103110 to k180040.
