Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of an emerge balloon catheter device.The balloon was tightly folded.Microscopic and tactile inspection revealed numerous kinks in the hypotube of the device.The hypotube was fractured 59cm from the strain relief.The fracture faces were oval, indicating the area was kinked prior to fracturing.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The most probable root cause is considered handling damage as the event occurred without direct patient contact.(b)(4).
